Heterochromia

New word for the day...heterochromia, specifically heterochromia iridis. That is the medical term for when someone has two different colored eyes. Not nearly as rare in animals as it is in humans, I read it in a magazine interview with Kate Bosworth. According to Wiki, other famous examples are Mila Kunis, Christopher Walken, Dan Akroyd and Jane Seymour. Oh, and Alexander the Great. I had trouble finding photographic proof of them online though.

Please keep this under wraps.

If word gets out, it will certainly ruin my golden sick day claim of chronic homochromia iridis.

i too was unable to distinguish the differences in online photos -- although I only tried walken.

Weird. I don't know if that'd be cool or.... creepy.
Like some kind of mono-eyed cataracts.
