Central heterochromia
Central heterochromia...it is what I got. Do not fret, it is not a disease. Let me back up.....
Lately I have found myself frustrated when people ask what color eyes I have. I do not have an answer. I have a yellow ring around my pupil and then it changes into greenish... The DMV decided sixteen years ago that I have blue eyes. But we all know how much DMV employees hate their jobs and are just trying to make it until 5 o'clock.
Last week a coworker commented on my eyes and we started discussing different eyes. The conversation touched on cool differences and I mentioned my cousin with two different colored eyes, which is called heterochromia iridum. Shortly thereafter my coworkers sent me info about central heterochromia which is what my eyes have, two colors in the same iris.
So there you have it. There is a name for it and I am nowhere near the only one to have such eyes. I always knew Aunt Merry and I had the same eyes, but I did not know that other cool people have had the same thing...cool people like Christopher Walken and Alexander the Great.
