High myopia does not necessarily inherit.

Does high myopia have to be inherited?

Although high myopia has a certain genetic tendency, it does not mean that every person with high myopia will inherit it to the next generation. The incidence of myopia is not only related to genetic factors, but also closely related to acquired factors such as eye habits. If both parents are high myopia, the probability of children suffering from myopia will increase, but not absolute. Therefore, genetic problems of high myopia cannot be generalized.

It is recommended to pay attention to eye hygiene and habits in daily life, and conduct regular eye examinations to detect and intervene in myopia and other eye diseases in time.
