Some of the well known eye characteristics associated with the syndrome include dystopia canthorum, white eyelashes, heterochromia irides, and albinotic fundi. The patient described here also has recurrent vitreous haemorrhage, an unusual presenting ocular feature in a patient with Waardenburg syndrome.
