A member asked:
Is good or bad vision hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly not: Most good vision which means the corrected best vision is due to the components of the eye working at their best. Bad vision can result from accidents, disease and sometimes hereditary causes. Your ophthalmologist can inform you about which is the underlying cause of your bad vision.
