[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH's family side have some health & mental genes and my kids unfortunately have inherited some when born. Our 9 year old niece from DS's side has -3.0 nearsighted and she rarely watches screens. BIL had bad eyesight and wore glasses since age 7. A year ago, they are giving her a FDA unapproved steroid eyedrop (prescribed by doctor) every night to prevent eyesight getting worse. A year after now, she needs to wear glasses daily and doing eyedrop every night. They tell them it is the gene. Anything can I do to prevent or postpone that my kids getting that as well? There are not many kids wear glasses at ES yet. [/quote]

I have no idea how to postpone or prevent what you are stating.  I just find it curious that despite both my spouse and I having pretty bad vision, our kids are 20/20 and are now 17 and 19.  Crazy.  I have really bad astigmatism and spouse really can't see at all without glasses / contacts.  I started wearing glasses in 5th grade and same for my spouse. [/quote]
