My child is just diagnosed with ocular melanocytis in one eye (sclera, iris (heterochromia, and fundus). I have amblyopia since always, did not react to early treatment, and just found out I have unilateral hemianopia in the amblyotic eye (because I am studying the eyes for the first time). I also have vague heterochromia, and suspect melanosis/melanocytis in the optic nerve in the amblyotic/hemianopic eye. Is it hereditary? Should we be tested? Are there specific genes to look at?
