Two different eye colors?

DD has one brown eye and one blue eye. I tried to research and it seems that it happens mostly due to trauma or a gene not turning on.

Both her grandfathers have blue eyes and grandmothers have brown. DH, and 2 DSs have brown, I have green, but was born with brown and turned green during puberty.

Do you think the one blue eye will turn brown, like the babies born with blue that turn brown?

Re: Two different eye colors?

Ask Xelindrya about this, she has 2 different eye colors!

Mila Kunis and Kate Bosworth both do also. Google pictures of them.
There are actually a bunch of other celebrities - I looked this up a lot when it looked like my daughter's eyes were becoming 2 different colors. Jessie from saved by the bell too.

Kylie has Hazel eyes, so they are both a blue/green with brown specks. One eye has more/larger brown specks than the other. We'll see what happens as her eye color continues to change.

Re: Two different eye colors?

For a while DS had two different color eyes - one was dark blue and the other was brown. DS is 4 years old he now has two brown eyes but if you look really closely one 1/4 of one eye is a dark blue. It mostly blends into the brown. His ped said that at this point it is going to stay that way. It almost looks like a twinkle in his eye - like how some santa clause pictures are drawn. I knew a girl in high school who had one violet eye and one brown eye. She eventually wore colored contacts.

DD has green/hazel eyes depending upon what she wears.

Eye color is found on multiple locations in genes so that is why you can have two different colored eyes.

Re: Two different eye colors?

when my DD was under a year, one eye looked much greener then the other-the other was more brown (i thought she may end up with two different colored eyes too). Now she is 19 months and they are both brown, although the one still has more green in it. I went to camp with a girl who had one blue and one brown, everyone thought it was so cool LOL

Re: Two different eye colors?

yep I got it

One blue, one brown since birth

They kept me in the hospital thinking I was blind in one eye. It never turned.

My father, mother, brother all have brown. All of my uncles and aunts (7 on my mother's side, 4 on my father's side) all brown. Both sets of grandparents.... BROWN.

I have the Waardenburg syndrome

I'll see if i can post a baby photo of me.. but ultimately it has no affect on my health or my sight. Its just a pigmentation change. To be exact is a mutation of my DNA strand PAX 3. haha I've done some research.

I will say this.. IF she has it.. it MUST run in your family or your hubby's. It has a 50/50 pass on rate with an 0 change of skipping a generation EVER. You can have several signs and have the syndrome and never know it. The eyes and/or hearing loss are the most obvious and easiest to see. But AJ has none, however, if she premature grays under 30 its a high possibility she did get it. or if I got her blood tested. If she doesn't' have it then it will die with me.





and now.. pardon the stupid expression.. haha it as after a hair cut and I was being goofy.








ETA: I mean waardenburg syndrome only for my statements.... just fyi there are other variations of Heterochromia (two different colored eyes) which are not caused by my syndrome.

Generally mine is a bright and clear blue, not dark. that last photo of you can see my contact on my blue haha. But you can look up other causes of Heterochromia and Waardenburg can be easily checked with a blood test.

Most of my info came from research and speaking the leading doctor of the condition in Boston.

Re: Two different eye colors?

thanks for the responses. I wonder if it's something that I have, since my eyes changed color pretty unexpectedly.

Do you know what chromosome that is on? My placenta (not the baby) had an abnormal chromosome 12.
