I t may or may not be. People are not always born blind. Take Helen Keller for instance. She became blind after getting sick as an infant. No one in her family was blind as far as they know. So if you are worried about becoming blind because other in your family have, then I suggest you talk to an eye doctor about your concerns. No one knows more about the subject then he or she will.
