You will most likely have better chances to fight the genetic issue by being so careful with your eyes and doing regular check-ups. It is not comforting to know you inherit something like this. But medicine evolves rapidly, who knows what miracle treatment might appear?
I have met someone with this eye issue and they were using special drops and it made their eyelashes super long. It was a funny joke she made, that at least she gets lashes as a bonus for the eye treatment lol.
You are a positive strong person and I think this also contributes to overall health, regardless of the genetic inheritance.
