Patient's question:
Please let me know, I have myopia of 700 degrees, and my parents do not have myopia. My eyes have also not had any diseases. Is it considered high myopia for me? If the next generation gets it, is there a 50% chance they will be nearsighted?My girlfriend has myopia of 600 degrees, and her parents do not have myopia. Her eyes have also not had any diseases.
If we have a child, will it definitely be nearsighted, congenitally? It's very urgent, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if myopia occurs later in life, it is not hereditary, so there is no need to worry.
