I read in a Thornybush blog, that Mapoza's eye problem is a genetic issue, likely had it since birth. I wonder, especially given that it has happened to two of these brothers, if it might be the same issue with the Biyamatis. I know there has also been some speculation that it may be a type of worm that has done this to them as well.

From what I've heard from rangers of Klaserie/Thornybush. The Mapoza male received a kick from a Giraffe when he was sub-adult

You may well be right, I suppose it could be from any number of reasons as @Tr1x24 mentioned. I had to go and find it, but this is the blog I was referring to, stating it is from Glaucoma, I originally found it in the Lion Tales thread mentioned by @Potato I believe. I know the blog also mentioned that Mapoza's brother was killed during a buffalo hunt, perhaps the same incident caused his eye problem as well.
