Only 6%-15% of children with myopia come from families in which neither parent is myopic. In families with one myopic parent, 23%-40% of the children develop myopia. If both parents are myopic, the rate rises to 33%-60%

Having a family history of myopia increases the risk of developing myopia, as genetics play a significant role in its development. However, it does not guarantee that an individual will develop myopia, as environmental factors also play a role. Regular eye exams and early intervention can help manage and potentially slow the progression of myopia.
