Rh negatives may have an elevated frequency of central heterochromia

Do you ever find it difficult telling people what your eye color is?

You may not be alone in this.

There are three types of heterochromia.

3 types of heterochromia: complete, central and sectoral

The one of interest to me is central heterochromia as I have observed it in high frequencies among Rh negative individuals.

What is central heterochromia? Rather than have one distinct eye color, people with central heterochromia have a different color near the border of their pupils. A person with this condition may have a shade of gold around the border of their pupil in the center of their iris, with the rest of their iris another color.

So let me guess:

Some of you might be unsure whether you have central heterochromia or simply hazel eyes… correct?

Here is one explanation:

With hazel eyes, the brown diffuses into the region with the green. The amount of diffusion varies from person to person. This diffusion makes it appear like the eyes change colors with different light sources and changes in surrounding colors. With central heterochromia, the areas of color are more distinct.

Is this it?

Central heterochromia comes in many color combinations.

Are you clearer yet about your eye color? Or did I get you more confused?
