I don't know if a gambling addiction would be distinctly Hyur or Miqo'te myself, but the mad scientist part definitely feels more Hyur. xD
Oh, and the cataracts thing! I actually tried using the lightest shade of blue available when I first started (after doing some extensive image searches on blindness in the real world) but the problem was it just made it look like he had one light pinkish colored eye, and one light blue colored eye. From what I've found cataracts causes not just the iris to change color and become bluish gray, but it also causes the pupil to become milky and white as well, something that isn't possible using the character creator. Typically in animate or video games, blindness is represented simply by the eye being colorless, so I opted to go with that instead since it gave the best impression of what I was trying to convey.
