Answers:

This sounds like keratoconus, which is not uncommon but has an unknown cause. Usually corrective lenses will help, depending on the progression of the disease. It doesn't "go away", but may only worsen to a certain point. In some cases, though, it could progress to a point where a corneal transplant might be necessary.
