Do you have heterochromia?

[mistixs]

I have sectoral heterochromia. My eyes are both blue, but there's a portion of my left eye that is brown.

Here are examples of people with sectoral heterochromia. Mine is similar to the bottom right photo, except my brown portion is slightly lower.

Sectoral heterochromia is actually statistically rarer than complete heterochromia, in which both eyes are completely different colors:

Even rarer are people with both sectoral and complete heterochromia:

There are also people with central heterochromia, in which the area around their pupils is different in color from the rest of their eye:

Do you have any type of heterochromia? If not, what do you think of heterochromia, and have you personally met anyone with heterochromia? What about anybody who's genetically related to you (it's a genetic defect - my half brother also has it)? Let me know!

I don't have any type of heterochromia, nor have I personally met anyone with any type of heterochromia

I don't have any type of heterochromia. I have personally met people with heterochromia, but nobody who's genetically related to me has heterochromia.

I don't have any type of heterochromia, but at least one person who's genetically related to me, has heterochromia.

I have complete heterochromia

I have more than 1 type of heterochromia

As I said in the post, my left eye looks similar to the eye in the bottom right picture of the collage.
However, if our eyes were clocks, while their brown spot is from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, my brown spot is from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock.

I have central heterochromia. From the inside to the outside, my eyes have an orangeish brown color, and then a hazel section that changes in different lighting, and then a very light almost lime green, then a dark blue, and then a forest green. My eyes have a lot of colors. It’s weird. And it confuses people.

I’m also legally blind, and have been seriously visually impaired for my whole life. So I’ve never been able to get a very good look at my eyes. To me they mostly look green and hazel. I can’t make out most of the other colors, as lights act weird when I stick my glasses in front of a mirror, and I can’t see anything without my glasses.

People would make comments about my eyes, and say they’re cool, and then always say they were a different color than the person who had previously commented on them. Everyone had a different opinion, and it was very confusing and frustrating. A friend of mine got a high quality close up picture of them for me though, and that was the first time I’d ever actually seen all the different colors in them. It was nice to finally know why everyone seemed to think my eyes were a different color.

Heterochromia seems to run in my family. My little brother has it too. His goes from a mossy green color to a sky blue color. I honestly believe that my little brother has the most stunning eyes I’ve ever seen.

My other brother also has pretty eyes. But no heterochromia. His eyes are just the bluest shade of blue to ever exist.

That’s basically my way of saying that I wish my eyes were more blue.

I have a little heterochromia actually. On my profile picture it's not visible as my eyes are brown coloured, but on a sunny day, my right eye has a strip of green at the bottom, and my left eye has a green strip at the top. Strange right? But it's actually not very noticeable. I myself did not realise until my boyfriend pointed it out during last summer.

Why the hell do I wanna see your eye...
So bad..
Okay..
I has sketched Girls and their eyes. Are a prime part and the angle at which you have said.
Your eye is brown at..
Is like.. Some Insanely Good contrast..
That I would like to see..

[Kurαȷ]

My eyes are a green-blue mess, but my optometrist never mentioned anything, so I never identified myself as part of the heterochromia gang.

[mistixs]

That's strange. I'm not even sure what that would be classified as.

[Kurαȷ]

It always seemed to me that most blue eyes have some degree of heterochromia.
When you google blue eyes, the majority of them have either brown or green patches.

I thought that most of those super pure baby blue eyes are photoshopped.

I voted for the first poll choice. It's a fascinating feature and just something else that makes you special. 🎄🌲🎅
Here is your Christmas card:

[ChgzDaniel]

Me and my mum both have central heterochromia. The outside of our eyes are a greyish green and the centre, a golden brown. You can only tell close up and in certain lighting, it can sometimes appear that my eyes change colour.

[Shiver]

I really it, but I am a biology nerd, so I don't know how valid my opinion really is. Maybe I only really like it because of my love for biology, maybe I genuinely love how it looks. The world may never know.

[Jjpayne]

That's pretty cool! First time hearing about it and it's an honor that you are the first like that that know with sectoral heterochromia

[Jjpayne]

*first one that I know

[Account2]

Two of my cousins have it where their right eye is different from their left. They're not twins though, they are siblings.

[Massageman]

Reminds me of the Helix Nebula.

Helix Nebula.

[archiz]

I don't think I ever met someone who has any of those but I find all the examples you stated to be beautiful

[Lliam]

I have central chromia. They always referred to it as hazel.

[Ninjazzed]

No, but I’ve met a girl with the condition. She had one blue eye and one green eye, kinda cool.

[moonpie89]

Don't have it. I've never noticed this. I'm sensitive when it comes to looking at eyes.

[CT_CD]

I don't have any type of heterochromia, nor have I personally met anyone with any type of heterochromia

[CuriousMufuxka]

Sounds like bullshit to me. My eyes do change from green in the winter to blue in the summer though.

[mistixs]

Do you have any birthmarks? Heterochromia is basically like a birthmark on your eye

[CuriousMufuxka]

I do on my lower back.. What's the association? Do you have or know anyone with a birthmark on their eye?

[mistixs]

Yes, I have sectoral heterochromia. Part of my blue pupil is brown, just like part of my white skin is brown in the places where I have birthmarks.

[mistixs]

Part of my blue IRIS* is brown, just like part of my white skin is brown in the places where I have birthmarks
*Corrected. I originally put pupil, but that's the black part. The iris is the colored part

[CuriousMufuxka]

I'll take you on your word. I don't agree with the birthmark comparison, but was incorrect on calling bullshit.

[Jamie05rhs]

This is fascinating. I've never heard of this before.

[COMMODOREII]

That last eye looks similar to mine. A small bit of brown or green around the pupil. With blue eyes.

[Waffles731]

I have Hazel Eyes which some people consider to be heterochromia

[Anonymous]

I have central heterochromia eyes, the center is green and the outer is blue. I actually really like my eyes the way the are.

[Mezius]

I knew a girl in school that had this. One eye was a darker blue than the other.

[Chris006]

No. But have seen it in real life once though..🙄😱😎

[AntiHunger]

No but it’s hella cool

[Exorcist_Rampage]

I don't have that condition.
