Excellent pickup on the burn injury!!
She had a burn injury in infancy involving the left eye. However, she is now complaining of visual difficulties in the right eye.

If that doesn't help, I will have another photo posted shortly that will probably give it away...
But strong work so far!

did't see this pic before I answered.

So, who thinks Van Gogh had Waardenburg's? He paints many of his self protraits with heterochromia, and he did have mental illness (associated with the syndrome) and there are only two photos of him, the only one I have seen is from the back...
