When parents have myopia, the chances of their children being myopic are higher than in the general population, but there is no accurate data to show the exact magnitude of this chance.
Myopia is a common ophthalmic disease, a type of refractive error, and its onset is related to a variety of factors, such as genetic factors, eye habits, etc. The genetic factor in the development of myopia is determined by multiple genetic loci.
The genetic factor in the development of myopia is determined by multiple genetic loci, so it is not possible to accurately calculate the incidence of myopia based on a patient’s family history.
However, clinical studies have concluded that children with two myopic parents have a higher risk of developing myopia than the general population, and that children with one or both parents who are highly myopic have a higher risk of developing myopia.
If you are concerned about your child’s myopia, it is important to have your child examined by an ophthalmologist at a hospital. The doctor will determine if your child is nearsighted through an optometric examination and develop a reasonable eye care plan for your child to prevent myopia as much as possible.
