Types Of Heterochromia



Heterochromia is an eye condition that occurs when your eyes have varying colors. This situation is primarily caused by genetic mutations and eye injuries or trauma. Some popular people in Hollywood possess this kind of physical feature, including Mila Kunis and Anthony Head.


If you do not know it yet, heterochromia comes in three forms:

Complete heterochromia. This condition occurs when each of your iris has a different hue.

Segmental heterochromia. This condition occurs when only a patch of a varied color exists in one of your iris.

Central heterochromia. This condition takes place when both of your iris have the same color but have different colored rings.


Central heterochromia is the most common form of an eye condition.


Over the years, these differences in eye color have been interpreted by various cultures in several ways. Some say that heterochromia is related to witchery, and others say that it is having the ability to have the “ghost” peepers through which you can see heaven.


If you are born without heterochromia but are starting to observe changes in your eye color (iris part), immediately see your eye doctor Broomfield, CO. This instance may be caused by an underlying medical condition.
