No, only super lesser, super butter, and lesser butter have the problem. Any snake with just one copy of the lesser/butter gene and with one other gene like mojave, mocha, special, mystic, phantom can be a perfectly healthy very white BEL.
And i mean, yes, its genetic, super lesser or super butter or butter lesser just harms the eyes, and they often turn blind, which is also why many believe lesser and butter to be two versions of the same thing, because even a lesser + butter BEL can get the eye problems.
Any snake with just one copy will be fine, so you can for example use a blind super lesser for breeding and produce only healthy BELs and combos with it, all offspring gets one copy and when its just one copy all is nice and fine and there are no problems and the eyes will be fine.
Its easy to work around it So many genes in the BEL complex, its a minor issue really.
