There are three major types of heterochromia:
Sectoral heterochromia

In sectoral heterochromia, sometimes referred to as partial heterochromia, areas of the same iris contain two completely different colors.

Central heterochromia

Central heterochromia is an eye condition where there are two colors in the same iris; the central (pupillary) zone of the iris is a different color than the mid-peripheral (ciliary) zone, with the true iris color being the outer color.

Complete heterochromia

The one of interest to me is central heterochromia due to high frequencies observed among Rh negative individuals.

    Central heterochromia is like mine, exactly, three rings of colours, from the outside in, grey, green, brown. First pointed out to me by my (now ex) husband in 1998. I had discovered he was Asperger, and realised that’s why after 23 years of marriage, he never looked me straight in the eyes. So l shouted at him, “look at me, really look at me, look into my eyes as we speak!” He suddenly sat bolt upright, l’d never shouted at him before. All those years it took, to make him pay attention to me. He sat shocked, wide eyed, looking straight into my eyes. And just as l thought, finally, he’d really talk about what mattered in our marriage, he deflected me with, ” Your eyes are three different colours, three circles!” I was totally, totally, thrown off balance. He went back to his shed. I went to the mirror and really looked myself in the eye, and sod him, he was right, and l never knew it before, maybe as l’m the only female of eight in my entire family, who never wore makeup lifelong, so, never sat looking at myself. But, once seen, l can’t unsee those colours times three, to this day. 26 years later. Every time l use a mirror. All my females relatives and friends have one colour, blending into two at most. Now you day it has a name. Mmmm.
