Causes of different pupils in Persian cats

Heteromydia is related to the abnormal retinal pigment in Persian cats, which leads to the lighter pupil color. This is a very common disease among Persian cats. Strabismus is commonly known as Yuanyang eye, and its real name is iris heterochromia.

Persian cats with different pupils usually have hearing impairment, and some Persian cats may also have diseases such as blurred vision and myopia, but in other respects, they are no different from ordinary cats.

Almost all heteropupillary cats are white cats, and there are few other coat colors. Snow-white coat color and beautiful heteropupil make heteropupil cats very popular and sought after.
