Heterochromia is when a person has different colors in their eyes. Eye color is dependent on the amount of melanin in our irises. It usually occurs when one part of the iris, or the whole iris has a different level of melanin to the rest of the iris or other eye’s iris. When you have more melanin your eyes will be darker. People with less melanin in their eyes will have blue irises and people with more melanin have brown irises. People are either born with heterochromia or they develop it in early childhood days. If heterochromia is developed later in life, that would be concerning and would be encouraged to get a full check up with an optometrist.
