We believe that these patients have Waardenburg syndrome, that branch retinal vein occlusion in case II-2 may be caused chiefly by systemic hypertension, and that elevated intraocular pressure associated with the blue iris may be partly involved in the pathogenesis of vein occlusion in the left eye.
