Does visual neuritis be hereditary?

Patient's question:

Uncle has had another episode of optic neuritis recently. He was originally undergoing software treatment, spending his days in front of the computer. Now, worried about worsening his condition, he avoids prolonged treatment. He has a 10-year-old child and is very concerned about whether this disease could be inherited across generations. Can optic neuritis be inherited across generations?

Doctor's answer:

Visual neurons generally do not be inherited across generations, because its cause is relatively complex, resulting from various reasons, so you don't need to worry too much. However, if it is neuritis, it is also necessary to actively treat it. It is best to use some medications for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and also develop good living habits in daily life, and try to avoid looking at computers too much.
