However, there is no correlation between parents who have myopia and there children contacting such by playing sports each week regardless of time spent.
Myopia also known as shortsightedness is a condition in which the eyes can see clearly objects that are close but objects that are far appear blurry. Myopia occurs when the shape of the eye causes light rays to bend incorrectly causing images to be formed in front of the retina instead of been formed on it. Myopia is not a sex-linked character unlike colour blindness and is neither a condition that is always passed on to the offspring by parent(s) but there are cases in which parent(s) pass this condition to there offspring(s).
Myopia can however be caused by genetic factors coupled with several environmental factors and life choices like foods eaten, watching of movies in the dark etc.
