I'm trying to find out about people with eyes of different color. I have a friend with a green eye and a brown eye. He has only once met someone like this, and we both are interested in anecdotes or information on how it happens genetically, as well as how often it happens. Anything at all! Mail might be best...Thanks a lot! Patti Kelly

It was quite a while ago (1970's?), and there was an article about the individual who was a somatic mosiac. The author (or an author) of the article is Dr. Carey H. Bostian.

(True... but our mailer couldn't find a path, so:) A friend of mine has one brown eye and one blue eye. When he was born they were the same color (brown, I think) and one of them changed in his early teens. No change since then, and he is now in his mid-thirties. One thing of note is that he had osteogenisis imperfecta, a genetic disorder that causes bones not to solidify in childhood. One of the common characteristics that accompanies OI is that the sclera of the eyes have a blue tint. Another thing--I knew him well for over ten years before I first noticed his different-colored eyes. He says that it's something people generally don't notice right away. I imagine it's not something we're conditioned to watch for! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above opinions are mine and in no wat the responsibility of my employers or associates.

The coloured part of the eye had bands, alternating brown and black, running from the pupil to the white of the eye. About 8 bands in each eye, i.e 4 black and four brown. They looked much like spokes. Pretty unusual, or WHAT?!?!!!

I had a granduncle with two different colored eyes. He was a brown eyed missionary sent to Norway. He lost an eye, and the only glass eyes they had were blue. (This is a story I've been told, never met the man myself.) I have (to describe it in a sensational fashion) two pupils in one eye. If you look very carefully at my left eye, you can see what appears to be a big black speck floating in front of my iris. I think it's actually a hole. I've tried shining a real strong light at it, and it doesn't reflect any. I've noticed a difference in the color perception of my eyes. If I close my right eye and see through my left eye, everything has a slightly bluish cast compared to vice versa, which gives everything a yellowish cast. By switching back and forth quickly between my eyes, the effect is especially noticable. It is more noticable in natural light than artificial light.
