A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible to have an eye problem, yet not come into affect till later on in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: There are many eye problems which may be inherited but will not cause any problems until later in life. Conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration typically don't show up until older adulthood.
