A condition called heterochromia is caused by two different colored eyes. Three main forms of heterochromia exist:

  • One iris is a different shade from the other, indicating complete heterochromia
  • Partial heterochromia, or sectoral heterochromia – part of one iris is a different shade from the rest of the iris
  • An inner ring is a different shade of the rest of the iris, and central heterochromia is a different shade than the rest of the iris

The eye color, specifically the color of the irises, is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin. The affected eye may be hyperpigmented (hyperchromic) or hypopigmented (hypochromic). (hypochromic) or hypopigmented (hypochromic). In addition, the overgrowth of melanin indicates hyperplasia of the iris tissues, while a lack of melanin indicates hypoplasia.

The majority of cases of heterochromia are hereditary, resulting from a disease or syndrome, or due to an injury. However, just one eye may change color due to certain illnesses or injuries.

Both disorders that may result in different colored eyes are mosaicism and chimerism. Mosaicism is the study of two or more populations of cells within a single individual. When two or more fertilized eggs mingle, producing a single individual, Chimaerism occurs.

Other signs of heterochromia include patches of lighter skin or deafness. Infants who have different colored eyes after birth should be evaluated by their pediatrician to ensure that no additional care is needed. If eye color changes occur due to injury or are sudden, seek a doctor's assistance. Often the disorder is chronic.

Mila Kunis is one of a few celebrities known to have two different colored eyes, including David Bowie, Christopher Walken, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Seymour, and Mila Kunis.
