A member asked:

Hi doctor..i am 22 weeks pregnant and my eye sight is very low..but i don't wear spectacles because of my inlaws..is this gonna affect my baby also?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely not: Wearing or not wearing the glasses will not affect the fetus. Your baby may inherit some or all of your visual traits.
