Hi and thank you for asking us
Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, most cases of keratoconus are not inherited. Some individuals can have keratoconus even without any family history of the condition.
But some cases are inherited, in which the parent has the condition and passes down the genes to the child. In some cases, it is inherited but the person does not show any sign or symptoms of the condition. I suggest for you to visit a specialist and get a proper consultation over this condition.
Having vision problems? No need to worry no more!
