I'm new to the Tortoise forums having just gotten our first Star Tortoise at Daytona but have been keeping boas for over 30 years including the Nicaraguan T Positive boas. While doing the research in the late 90's on T Positive albinism, I was pointed to the University of Minnesota which has been doing research on T Positive albinism in humans since the early 70's! Of course there are differences between humans, snakes and Tortoises but the general ideas are there and can be modified for our reptiles. If you wander around this link, you'll find that there are many eye related problems connected to forms of albinism varying from very simple to quite extreme. This is not to imply that is the problem you're experiencing but the website is very informative. Here it is: http://albinism.med.umn.edu/ I do want to add that these problems can be connected to albinism but only in a small percentage of cases. Good luck and I hope this helps.
