Will myopia be inherited

First, from the analysis of the survey results of eye diseases, the family members with family history of myopia have a higher incidence of myopia than those without family history of myopia. The closer the kinship, the higher the prevalence. The higher the degree of myopia of parents, the higher the prevalence of children. Moreover, the children with myopia genetic genes have a significantly lower resistance to adverse eye use environment and a higher risk of inducing myopia. It shows that there is a certain relationship between myopia and heredity.

Second: if both parents are highly myopic, their children are basically myopic. If one parent is highly myopic and the other is a carrier, 50% of the children born are myopic and 50% are carriers. If one parent is highly myopic and the other is a healthy person with normal gene, the risk of high myopia is not high.

Third: the above survey results show that the heredity of myopia, but this kind of heredity is not 100%.
