My daughter has my own green almond shaped eyes and is as blind as I
am. My son has his father's eyes and can see very well. I am no
opthamologist but I did believe the shape of the eye had something to
do with how well we see.

I did not wear my glasses when I was fifteen because of vanity but I
would not have been able to tell Snape he needed to wash his
underpants without my glasses as Lily does in Chapter twenty eight
"Snape's Worst Memory" in Order of the Phoenix.

I am wondering now if Harry's glasses have nothing to do with his
father needing them and something to do with the curse. If Harry has
his mother's eyes, he should see as well as her (I think) and not 
need
glasses at all. At least that is my opinion. What do you think?

Both of my parents wear glasses, but I have 20/10 vision. I have 
almond shape eyes. I do not think that the shape of your eye makes a 
difference on your sight, but heredity would be a huge player.
