When taking a patient’s history, they should be asked if anyone in their family has been diagnosed with hereditable ocular disorders. All of the following are hereditable ocular disorders except

glaucoma.
conjunctivitis.
strabismus.
high myopia.

Explanation

Answer: B - conjunctivitis.

Conjunctivitis is not a hereditable ocular disorder but rather an inflamed membrane lining of the eyelid. Glaucoma, strabismus, and high myopia are all ocular disorders that are inheritable. If the patient is not sure whether a family member has been diagnosed with such disorders, try asking them if they remember a family member having laser treatment or eye surgery.
