    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_melanosis

    A light brown, patchy appearance of primary acquired melanosis (PAM). PAM is a potentially cancerous lesion of the conjunctiva, which has a higher risk of transforming into a malignant melanoma in white persons. Nearly 75% of all melanomas that arise from the conjunctiva have been found to have occurred in the setting of PAM. [4]

  4. Odd-eyed cat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd-eyed_cat

    A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat ...

[78] [79] However, a study in 2000 suggests that people with dark brown eyes are at increased risk of developing cataracts and therefore should protect their eyes from direct exposure to sunlight. [80]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)

    Some white cat fancies (e.g., white Turkish Angora or white Turkish Van cats) may show striking heterochromia, with the most common pattern being one uniformly blue, the other copper, orange, yellow, or green. [12] Striking variation within the same iris is also common in some animals, and is the norm in some species.

  8. Ojos Azules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ojos_Azules

    The blue eye color seen in cats such as the Siamese and the Ojos Azules is due to the same physical phenomenon, the absence of melanin in the iris. [4] Although the cause of the absence of pigment differs between Siamese, white cats, and Ojos Azules , the result is pigment loss and blue eyes.
