Having two different colored eyes is a condition called heterochromia. Three types of heterochromia exist:
Complete heterochromia – one iris is a different color from the other.
Partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia – part of one iris is a different color from the rest of the iris.
Central heterochromia – an inner ring is a different color than the rest of the iris.
