I have no idea. the only thing i can say is that things like too small or too large of eyes is a deformity that isn’t life threatening. Unlike things like kinking which can be life threatening.

Because of the synergistic impact of the different mutations, it is indeed possible that het Pied status could exhibit the phenotype

Bug-eyes can rupture and/or suffer luxation leading to infection. And given the proximity to the brain, that can be serious

Albino and BEL genes can also cause small eyes.
