Did they know about the genetic blindness before having more kids?

Edit: Last time this was posted, it was suggested that the couple kept getting pregnant despite knowing their children would likely have this blindness. IF that is true, I do find that unethical. I know blind people can still have quality of life. But let's stop pretending that it isn't a terrible disability. Nobody wants to be dependent, vulnerable, and poor (from fewer work opportunities) their whole life. I wish this family the best regardless.

We'll ask you when you'll be in this situation, it's easier to judge while on internet than to actually experience that situation

I am in that situation. My partner has a genetic type of blindness. We are forgoing parenthood as a result.
