4-5% of all pregnancies will have an unexpected outcome from prematurity to birth defect to chromosome problem. Strabismus is not inherited as a simple trait like eye color it happens sporadically. Luckily there are treatments that correct it, which is not true for many others. If you have major concern about this seek out a clinical geneticist (children's hospital) to explore all your risks.
