In our family there is an inherited eye condition which is passed to males and 
causes partial blindness.  My father has it and transmitted it to his son.  My 
sons do not have the disease, but I would like to know if there is any chance 
that they could pass it on to there sons.  I don't know the name of this 
disease.
