HI,
Thanks for asking.I understand your concern.
Refractory errors are genetic / environmental in origine. As you have family history of getting eyesight problem but your husband does not have such problem. there are 50% chances that your baby will have the problem,
Please don't be stressed.. correction of the defect is easily possible for the baby too. So hope for the best & be positive for present.
- You should take vitamin E supplements & also omega 3 fatty acid daily so as to facilitate healthy eye development of baby.
Thanks.
