Is patient's ocular condition believed to have occurred in any blood
relative(s)?

Yes, father and sister.

—Physician's Report of Eye Examination

It is not unlikely that you will find the sisters quite alike. You will be
amused by their likeness and find them, all around, quite likable girls. Indeed,
you will be amazed by how little there is to dislike.
While remarking how they look alike—squinting through clouded eyes
that flit and dart like small, frightened birds—it is just like you not to
notice the tallness of one, the beauty of the other, or how one is quite quiet
and the other otherwise.
As for the sisters, they see little or no resemblance and care, not a jot,
for all such musings.
