MismatchedEyes
#82657
This troper has complete heterchromia iridis, with a blue right eye and a green left eye. What's interesting is that he thought that everyone had eyes like him (his mother and father both have it as well, it's what brought them together) until his first day of kindergarten.
#82658
This green-eyed troper has something like the yellow sunburst around his pupil like others on this page. He thinks it looks a lot like the pattern that light reflected off water has.
#82660
This troper's left is a green, and right eye blue. My little brother has the opposite pairing with a blue left eye and a green right eye.
#82661
This Troper has central heterochromia - her eyes have a
flare of gold around the pupil, and are blue (or green in dull light) on the outside. Interestingly enough, this troper has had people say to her, "Oh wow, your eyes look like an eclipse!"
#82662
This contributor's high school biology teacher had one blue eye and one green eye. He took great pleasure in telling us how they ''used'' to match until he had to get one removed and replaced.
#82663
Please tell me it was a ''fake'' eye. Otherwise... well,
you know...
#82664
I think the point was that the teacher made that story up, although it could have been a glass eye.
#82665
This Troper's uncle had to get an eye replaced in emergency surgery. It is possible to get an eye transplant, but your depth perception is pretty much gone, and the eye colour may or may not match (depending on the donor's colour). Maybe that's what the teacher was referring to?
#82666
As far as ThisTroper knows, the brain can generate depth perception even from only one image... he heard the "one eye" thing was only an urban legend.
#82667
This troper sometimes walks around with one eye closed due to stuff getting in it and bothering it, and has worn a costume eyepatch multiple times with almost perfect depth perception and would have to agree that it either
varies from person to person or the "one eye thing" is indeed an urban legend. We should get the
MythBusters to test it...
#82668
Depends. There are several depth cues, some of which require two eyes and others of which do not; in particular, someone losing one eye always loses depth perception from stereopsis, which can dominate at short distances. Cues from motion parallax, apparent size, and focus remain.
#82669
Right. Having only one eye decreases depth perception, but your eyes are pretty amazing machines. It also decreases field of vision etc., but you can live with just one eye. It does make 3D movies useless however.
#82670
This troper always feels bad when paying more to watch a 3D movie with friends, because my lazy eye makes it hard to see the 3D effect, but if I try really hard I can get both eyes to focus at once. This can get pretty tiring though. Also, when I play volleyball and other sports in the gym, I almost always either miss the ball entirely or get hit in the face. On the topic of heterochromia, my eyes are mostly grey-blue, but have this pretty little yellow sunburst pattern around my pupil. Most of the time. Sometimes it goes away during the summer and they turn a little more blue than grey...
#82671
Happened to this troper's grandmother, although they matched almost perfectly.
#82672
This editor had a math teacher in high school that had a different kind of heterochromia which made her left eye diagonally split in the middle with a green half and a brown half, while her other eye was completely brown, giving her a Bond Villain-esque appearance. Bizarrely, this editor was the only one in the class to notice.
#82673
Intriguing. This is called sectoral heterochromia, I believe. It's a bit rarer than the regular.
#82674
This tropers brother has a form of that, Both eyes split into a total of three colors with the middle portions being blue and the left being half green, the right being half hazel.
#82675
Bicolored irises and Heterochromia are actually relatively common among hazel-eyed people, since hazel is just a mix of brown and green pigments anyway. It is rare for the difference to be striking enough to be noticeable at conversational distances.
#82676
This troper knew a person who had an half-green,half-''yellow'' eye alongside with a normal green eye. Given that he was one of the funniest people he ever met he always wondered if his eyes were just a side-effect of how crazy he was.
#82677
This troper had a coworker who developed temporary heterochromia while being treated for a brain tumor. His eye eventually regained its normal color.
#82678
Similar story for
This troper, at his old day camp, a CIT had one brown eye and one blue eye, and explained that it developed after getting a brain tumor removed.
#82679
This troper's mom has blue eyes, but one eye has an interesting splash of brown in it. Her brothers and sisters all have it too.
#82680
This troper also has that, but she's the only person she knows with it.
#82681
This troper's biology professor has a significant other with a brown eye and a blue eye.
#82682
My middle school principal had one blue eye and one brown. Rumor had it that he had an eye injury involving a paperclip fire from a rubber band. Now this was after shooting paperclips was explicitly banned, so it might have been just a rumor.
#82683
This troper, being a Catholic, was at confession and managed to get the priest who had one eye that was blue with a sliver of green in it and one brown eye. It's really hard to confess your sins seriously when you're looking at possibly one of the coolest pairs of eyes ever.
#82684
This Troper has one brown eye and one that's half-brown half-hazel, split vertically down the middle.
#82685
This troper's younger cousin has this, with one hazel/green and one brown eye. She hates them, but I rather like the effect.
#82686
This troper has a cat who has one green and one blue eye.
#82687
Actually this kind of thing is common among animals, especially calico manx cats & huskies
#82688
This Troper's friend at highschool has one blue eye and one eye that is half blue half brown that's roughly vertical. It's tilted to the right somewhat.
#82689
This Troper gets Sting's ''Valparaiso'' stuck in his head every time someone talks about MismatchedEyes--or, nowadays, when he sees a heterochromic cat. It's a little vexing.
#82690
This Troper knew someone once, and it took her '''''seven years''''' to realize that this person had one blue eye and one green eye.
#82691
I'm not surprised. No one ever notices this troper's obviously bicolored irises either.
#82692
It took one of my ex-boyfriends three weeks before he noticed the bicolored irises. It's a weirdly UnusuallyUninterestingSight.
#82693
Both my eyes are brown, though one has blue along the bottom and half way up it and the other has the same effect with green.
#82694
I believe that mixtures of green and brown or blue and brown in the iris are referred to as hazel, not brown.
#82695
This troper's boyfriend has one eye brown, and the other eye have splotches of blue in it. He
covers it up with his hair, though so as not to scare other people. This troper finds it sexy.
#82696
This troper, for a cosplay, tried to put on different-colored contacts. He gave up, due to him being scared shitless of putting things in his eyes.
#82697
This troper's pet rabbit has eyes kind of like this. Except it's not one blue eye and one brown eye, it's both eyes having splotches of both colors.
#82698
This troper's friend has one blue eye and one half-brown, half-blue eye. Would you believe me if I said the colours were divided into quarters - going brown-blue-brown-blue around the iris?
#82700
This Troper knows someone like that, too. She has one blue eye and one eye that's brown and blue, with a pattern to it that looks like the Radiation symbol. It's really neat-looking.
#82701
This troper used to have gray eyes in elementary school. Although it wasn't really two different colors, one eye was a sort of charcoal color, while the other was an almost-white silver. For some reason, they eventually turned green, and are the same shade now. (If you look closely, though, one of them has several
yellow lines in it.)
#82702
This troper has a green left eye and a blue right eye, which he thinks is somehow related to having a problem with his left eye's eyesight.
#82703
I sometimes look like I have MismatchedEyes, but it depends on the light. Apparently, under dim light, one of my eyes looks yellow, while the other looks green.
#82704
This troper, who occasionally fosters puppies, once took care of this ''adorable'' little German Shepherd/Husky mix with one brown eye and one blue eye.
#82705
This troper has mostly grey eyes with little slivers of green here and there. And then my right eye has a random splotch of brown. But if you ask someone what they think my eye colour is, they will ''always'' say 'blue' unless the lighting is good. Yeah, I don't even know.
#82706
This might seem a weird thing to mention, but a horse at the riding stables this troper visits has natural MismatchedEyes (the brown/blue combo) and they are positively beautiful. Especially since the blue eye looks exactly like a sky with lots of fluffy white clouds in it, and the brown eye looks like mahogany, and both are particularly large.
#82707
This troper has central heterochromia in his eyes: Both eyes have an inner ring of yellow-green/gold surrounding the pupils, and an outer ring of silver/silver-blue, the two seperated by a smaller middle ring of a darker silver/silver-blue. Also, I have been told by multiple girls at my school that my eyes are sexy.
#82708
It took this troper's best friend eight years to realise that I had sectoral heterochromia (blue eyes with a large splodge of brown at the top of my left eye)
#82709
This troper's best friend has some weird thing where his eyes actually change color. They're never to extremities, but its quite unnerving to see your friend in class with blue eyes, then the next day at lunch, his eyes are hazel.
#82710
This sounds like it is not a heterochromia-related condition; it's more closely related to the way the eyes reflect light. Whether the light is natural or artificial, time of day, atmospheric conditions, clothing and eye makeup, as well as the muscles within the eye and the facial muscles, can all change the way light is reflected. This is why this troper has a friend whose eyes are very pale green (almost yellow) normally, but turn to a dark ''emerald green'' when he's angry or stressed.
#82711
This troper's friend's cousin has a husky/wolf mix who has one blue eye and one brown eye that is so dark it seems black.
#82712
This troper once acted in a version of
The Scottish Play where the murderer had one blue eye and one brown eye. It added to the effect nicely.
#82713
I've been told I have unusual eyes, but they're closer to KaleidoscopeEyes. The outer most ring is blue, while the insides are almost tortoise shell patterned with green and gold. I was born with blue eyes that changed when I entered high school. Depending on my mood they can be completely blue, green, gold, or tortose shell as a default and this has been proven to me by friends and family.
#82714
This troper has a friend with a twin sister. Both of them have heterochromia as a result. This troper was the quickest to notice her friend's eyes were different: one blue, one blue and brown. She noticed it on the very first day she met him, because she has a habit of looking at people's eyes when she speaks with them. She also thinks Matt has some of the prettiest eyes she's ever seen, even if told that her eyes are pretty cool (they're not mismatched, no, but they've got a
red tint. But no worries, this troper likes to think she's a nice person).
#82715
This Troper's family has a tendency to have an additional growth spurt later in life. She has it at 18, during which she grew an inch and a half and one of her previously light blue eyes turned noticeably navy blue. Apparently, eye colours can change during hormonal changes. It never changed back. She just tells people she was hit in the face with the same bar stool as David Bowie.
#82716
{{Dwessie}} WAS born with two, matching blue eyes, but one had a cataract, then they tried to do eye surgery on it, and it failed (Only Old people get them apparently and nobody has any idea what to do with a screwed up newborn!) so they tried another eye surgery to fix it. Not only did it ruin my vision in my left eye forever with no way to fix it, but it turned it brownish-green with no pupil. That's probably the only plus side. ALSO! The one eye thing is true for me. My depth perception is nonexistant, and they cant fix me.
#82717
This troper has something that's been mentioned a lot here: one blue eye, one blue and brown. It took most of her friends at least three years to notice, but it's occasionally noticed by random strangers.
#82718
Not ''exactly'' different coloured eyes, but ThisTroper has different coloured ''eyelashes'': one set blonde, the other brown.
#82719
This troper has a similar thing, her right eyebrow and eyelashes are blonde and she has a blonde streak on the same side, they are darkening slowly with age but still pretty obvious when sun bleached in the summer.
#82720
This troper has blue eyes, but a sector of the right one is brown. According to Wikipedia much rarer than the total version.
AAAH!
#82721
This troper has this too. Her eyes are green except for a neat little slice of the right iris which is dark brown.
#82722
This Troper has one gray eye and one brown one. It's not something I'm thrilled about, but I've found that once elementary school was over people abruptly stopped caring.
#82723
This troper's right eye is a very dark brown, and my left is mostly dark but with splodges of a lighter brown that's almost orange in strong light. Far more noticeable in photographs than most situations in RealLife, though bright sunlight tends to make it pretty obvious.
#82724
This Troper has a green right eye and a blue left eye and also had a student with a brown right eye and a hazel left eye.
#82725
This troper has a brown right eye, and a gold left eye. It's really noticable in the light, or if you look really closely. One of my classmates told me I had "Edward Colored" eyes...
#82726
This troper has one pale, bright blue eye (which doesn't fit his race) and one plain brown eye. The ear that's on the same side as his blue eye is partially deaf. This is the same case with odd-eyed white cats (I also have a SkunkStripe), so the cat experts in my school like to joke about it. Just call me
Cat Guy.
#82727
One day, a dog wandered onto This Troper's front lawn. He had one brown eye and one blue eye.
#82728
Many of my family members have shades of this, and it makes their eyes look incredible. I also have a slight version of this, as nobody can tell what the hell color my eyes are, including myself. They're either green, brown, hazel, a mix of two or more, or something completely different.
#82729
This troper was born with one blue eye and one brown eye. Apparently, this is quite normal for babies. This troper currently has greyish-blue eyes.
#82730
This troper's eyes are green, but around the rim of the iris, it's gold. There's also some visible blue. I get a lot of comments from people about that.
#82731
My cousin has one brown eye and one blue eye.
#82732
I used to know a girl who technically speaking had one green eye and one blue eye, but her eyes were so light that she almost looked like bolth of her eyes were white.
#82733
This troper's right eye is very obviously green, while her left eye is blue-gray. Normally she covers the blue eye with her hair. The color difference is especially noticeable if she has been crying- because then the green eye looks about the color of a green jelly-bean and the blue-gray eye looks exceptionally bright blue. Her friends say her eyes can't decide what color to be so they just mind-f**k everyone by changing all the time. And while that doesn't make any sense whatsoever, this troper finds it very amusing.
#82734
This troper's brother has sectoral heterochromia. His eyes are blue, but a quarter of his right eye is gold. Not brown, not yellow, but actually legitimate gold. Not many people notice, but when they do they're just amazed by how unusual--and even beautiful--it is.
#82735
One of this troper's characters has this, one green eye and one purple eye (the idea for which I got from a FauxtivationalPoster). She hates how different this makes her, and as a result, uses her hair to cover the purple eye.
#82736
This troper has a two brown eyes, but one has a large spot of green in it, making it look hazel. On several occasions, people she's known for years have randomly pointed out, "Hey! Your eyes are different!" It's amusing.
