By understanding eye genetics, we can take the necessary steps to protect our vision and that of our loved ones. The Impact of Genetics on Eye Health Is eyesight genetic? If you have a family history of eye diseases, you are more likely to develop the same condition than someone whose family does not have such a history.  This is because the most common causes of vision loss or eye diseases are linked to eyesight genetics.
