i thought i remembered you mentioning that. there are a few of us with the central heterochromia on here - i think MXH has it too, if i am remembering correctly. the phrase makes it sound like a disease.
Is that when there are two colours in an iris? I have a brown middle with a green outer bit. I thought that was just called hazel though?
yours are the same too???! !! !! it is called "heterochromia" because it's 2 or more colours, and "central" because the second colour is around the pupil. the whole name should probably include the word "iridum" so that it's clear we're talking about irises, but that's sort of unnecessary i think.
hazel is where the colour appears to change i think, but i could be wrong about that. i think hazel eyes can have central heterochromia, but it's not necessarily required in order to be hazel.
