Glaucoma or a stigmatism.
Glaucoma is usually detected by an optometrist and testing for this condition is part of the routine eye test. Glaucoma develops slowly so it is important that eyes are tested every two years.
Glaucoma can be influenced by genetic factors, but its inheritance pattern can vary. If the man has glaucoma, it typically suggests he carries a genetic predisposition to the condition. If his father is normal, it’s possible that the man has a recessive form of glaucoma, which would mean he may pass on the condition to some of his children. However, without specific genetic information about the woman and the type of glaucoma involved, it’s difficult to provide an exact proportion. Generally, if the woman is unaffected and assuming the father's glaucoma is recessive, the children would have a 0% chance of inheriting the condition.

Glaucoma is the correct spelling. It is a condition of the eye where excess pressure builds up in the eye ball. It can be very serious if left untreated, which is why opticians routinely test for it. The tendency to glaucoma sometimes runs in families.
