    Does glaucoma run in your family? Does anyone have cataracts? If you're not sure, talk to your family members about their eye health history. It's important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with a disease or condition that affects vision since many eye problems are hereditary. Knowing if you have a high risk for developing an eye disease or eye condition helps you take steps to prevent it.
