what is the condition called where eyes are different colors
Heterochromia means different (hetero-) colors (-chromia).. Usually the term is used to describe the condition where a person has different colored eyes â one blue eye and one green eye, for example. Other terms to describe different colored eyes are heterochromia iridis and heterochromia iridum. Iridis and iridum refer to the iris of the eye. The iris is the thin, circular structure that surrounds the pupil and contains the pigment melanin, which gives our eyes their distinctive color.
