Hard to tell.: Fuchs dystrophy is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but there are other genetic factors involved that would affect your risk. Genetic testing of your parents would be necessary and you can also be tested.

Fuchs: Fuchs dystrophy does run in families and typically develops later in life. If you are concerned, the best next step is a detailed eye examination with an eye care provider who can use a slit lamp to look for any signs of early Fuchs Dystrophy. Fuchs is not 100% transferred so your chances are likely low, but they are not 0%.
