I had an assessment today for laser surgery to correct issues with my eyes. One of the questions was did any of my family members have any eye problems. My initial reaction was “No”. However, during the course of the examination, and as a response to comments from the opthamologist, I remembered that my mother had a lazy eye and my youngest sister had to wear patches and do eye exercises. And my own son had to do eye exercises! And, as it turns out, I have asigmatism – the first time in my whole life anyone has mentioned it to me! Knowing your family background on a medical level is so important ….
