LASIK eye correction surgery can certainly cure myopia by reshaping the cornea. But if both you and your wife have always been victims of a strong case of myopia, even after both of you undergo LASIK, your children could still very well inherit it as genetics actually play a large role in myopia.

But that really isn’t a problem in today’s modern eye correction landscape, where LASIK and its various alternatives are relatively accessible to even middle-class households. Of course, I don’t mean that you should put your child through LASIK. LASIK does require you to be old enough. However, your child could very well undergo LASIK (or an alternative) himself/herself when he/she is old enough.
