Heterochromia means having two different-colored eyes. It's like when one eye is blue and the other is brown, or even green! Sometimes, it happens because a person has two different colored irises, which are the parts of the eye that give us our color. Imagine your eye colors were painted by two different artists.
Examples
- A boy with one blue eye and one green eye looks like he was painted by two artists.
- A girl has an eye that’s half brown and half blue, just like a rainbow patch.
- One person’s left eye is dark brown, while the right is light gray, like night and day.
