eya4/eya4, eya3/eya4, eyaE1/eya4, eyaE4/eya4, and eyacli-IID/eya4 adults are eyeless. eya2/eya4 adults exhibit smaller eyes compared to controls.
eya1/eya3 and eya1/eya4 adults do not exhibit any difference in the number of ommatidia in the eye while adults containing either genotype exhibit significantly higher number of ommatidia in the eye than eya1/eyaE1, eya1/eyaE4 and eya1/eyacli-IID adults.
eya2/eya4 adults exhibit significantly higher number of ommatidia in the eye than eya2/eyaE1, eya2/eyaE4, eya2/eyacli-IID eya2/eya54C2 and eya2/eyaD3 adults.
eyacs/eya4 adults exhibit greater number of ommatidia than eyacs/eyacs, eyacs/eyacli-IID, eyacs/eyaE4 and eyacs/T(2;3;4)ETD4.3 adults.
Homozygotes have greatly reduced eyes and reduced ocelli.
eya4/eyaE3 flies are viable, and have eyes which range from 1/2 to less than normal size. Homozygous flies have eyes which are less than 1/2 normal size. Transheterozygotes in combination with eya1, eya2, eya3, eyaE6, eyaE11, eyaE4, eyaE7, eyaD1, eyaE9 or eyaE2 have smaller eyes than normal. Transheterozygotes in combination with eyaE12, eyaE1, eyaD5, eyacli-IID, eyaE8, eyaE5, eyaE10, eyaD4, eyaZ283, eyaD2, eyaD3, eyaD6 or eyaD7 are eyeless.
Ocelli are missing, and the posterior vertical bristles of the head are truncated with frayed ends. Eyes have a variable phenotype, ranging from all eye tissue absent, with cuticle containing occasional hairs or bristles occupying the space normally occupied by the ommatidia, through streaks of red-pigmented cuticle with no eye facets present, to patches of red-pigmented cuticle occupying 10-25% of the wild-type eye area, and 10-25 facets present. Eye discs from late third instar larvae show extensive areas of dead cells. Transheterozygotes with eya1 have reduced eyes with fewer facets than normal and the facets are disorganised. The posterior vertical bristles of the head are truncated with frayed ends.
Transheterozygotes with dppd-blk and sounspecified are normal.

eya3 and eya4 form an intragenic complementation group that interacts with eya1 and eya2.
