Probably no one has answered your thread because your photos don't show the right and left eyes clearly. Try again with better closeup and well focused photos.

Since the eyes have been the same since hatching, it's most likely a birth defect. But check the eyes against the photos in this article. https://backyardpoultry.iamcountryside.com/feed-health/a-look-at-chicken-eyes/

Did he come from a hatchery? Was he vaccinated for Marek's?

No I got him from a breeder..

Better pics in better lighting would help. I've seen Marek's positive birds that were vaccinated, have the iris color changes and that was it for symptoms. Not sure about unvaxxed birds though.
