Myopia is often hereditary and does not depend on external environmental factors, contrary to popular belief. Having said that,you should minimise eye strain, be careful to any trauma to the eye and look out for black spots in front of the eye (floaters) or any flashes of light.annual visit to an ophthalmologist should be ensured.
