These are just some opinions to think about. If it is NOT genetic, you would see as many Kahl hets and normals with one eye as Kahl albinos, and that is NOT the case by a long shot. I have never seen a one eyed normal or het, ever, not even a picture or a rumor of one. I am not saying they don't exist, but the numbers must be very low. Remember, albinos have two copies of the albino genes, hets only one. It's likely the absence of the normal eye genetics and the doubling of the albino eye genetics causes the problem. Albinos of other species have genetic eye problems too. Study albinos in other species and you'll see this is so. There are lots of things that point to it being a genetic problem, none the least of which is that Sharps don't have the same problem, and we know they don't have the same genetics. Don't shoot, these are just my opinions. : )
