Congenital amblyopia does not pass directly to the next generation, but may increase the risk of the next generation.

Will congenital amblyopia be inherited from the next generation?

Congenital amblyopia refers to corrected vision lower than normal vision, most cases due to abnormal visual cortex function. Because it is not a genetic disease, it will not pass directly to the next generation. However, the presence of amblyopia in parents is a risk factor, which may increase the risk of the next generation.

Patients should be promptly intervened after diagnosis of the disease to correct vision, which can improve visual function. However, if not promptly paid attention to or improper treatment, amblyopia may last for life.
