It just hit me. When Dad began having his glaucoma take off he began having depigment speckles and splotches (though usually at the edges (and that debris can cause blockages there so is among the causes of glaucoma as can be other things like the eyeball shape of extreme myopia). I wonder if another discussion -- that one on speckled eyes may involve areas which once had but then lost the pigmentationand if so if these ferrets need to be watched for a possible increased vulnerability for glaucoma.
