ME

My left eye.

banner
The above diagram was made from a small horizontal section of the same picture: a maximum colour saturation shows how the chromatic range of my iris
contains potentially all the colours of Earth's Nature, from the blue of skies and waters to the green of plants, to the brown tones of the Earth itself.

 

ME/2

My right eye (scanned alive !)
All of the intermediate tones from the amber crown around the pupil to the circumference vary and seem to change depending on (wheater/light/environ/mental ?)
conditions, with shades more green or more bluish and sometimes creating the illusion of a grey whole -- which doesn't seem to be there at all, in any pictures!

 

Article about CENTRAL HETEROCHROMIA from Wikipedia:

Whereas Heterochromia (also known as a heterochromia iridis or heterochromia iridum) is an eye condition in which one iris is a different color from the other (complete heterochromia), Central Heterochromia is an eye condition in which there are two different colors in the same iris. Central Heterochromia is where the central (pupillary) zone of the iris is a different color than the mid-peripheral (ciliary) zone.
Eye color is determined primarily by the concentration and distribution of melanin pigment within the iris tissues, anything affecting those factors may result in a difference of color being observed.[...] The human iris can be seen in a number of various colors. There are three true colors in the eyes that determine the outward appearance; brown, yellow, and grey. How much of each color an individual has determines the appearance of his or her eye color.[...]
Eyes displaying Central Heterochromia are often referred to as "cat eyes" because of the appearance of a multi-colored iris. Central Heterochromia appears to be prevalent in irides containing low amounts of melanin.[...] Central Heterochromia does not label an eye as hazel. This is because the outer ring of an eye affected by Central Heterochromia is that iris's true color.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia#Central_heterochromia]

Article about HAZEL eyes (classification of color) from Wikipedia:

Hazel eyeHazel eyes are due to a combination of a Rayleigh scattering and a more than moderate amount of melanin in the iris' anterior border layer.[...]
Hazel eyes often appear to shift in color from a light brown to a medium golden-dark green. A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned "hazel" to be the medium-color between the lightest shade of blue and darkest shade of brown.[...] This can sometimes produce a multicolored iris, i.e., an eye that is light brown near the pupil and charcoal or amber/dark green on the outer part of the iris (and vice versa) when observed in sunlight. Hazel is commonly found in Europe, some regions of the Middle East, North America, parts of Central Asia and parts of South Asia.
Definitions of the eye color "hazel" vary: it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with light-brown and gold.[...]
In North America, "hazel" is often used to describe eyes that appear to change color.

Here on Urban Dictionary you can find an interesting definition of "hazel eyes ": "Otherwise known as "mood eyes"

 

FAQs? DIAGNOSTICS !

From the Google diagnostic (one of the webmaster tools) information on this site, I see that most of the visitors are from the U.S. and U.K., mostly looking for the eye color of "celebs", or info about ChC in general; here are some of the questions appearing in the search engines box that I feel I can suggest quick answers:

Is central heterochromia bad and/or Can heterochromia kill ?

Most certainly, NO; ChC could kill someone else for its excessive coolness, but the owner -or carrier- is relatively as safe as any other earthling=). Despite the ambiguity of the English noun (used also on Wikipedia) related to a part of the human body, in this case the meaning of "condition" is "a mode or state of being" rather than "a disease or physical ailment". Even though we've got evidence of modifications or "evolution" of Chc in time -See the Robert G. Case below- Central HeteroChromia is very likely here to stay, as a "mode or state of being"; and to think that this "additional beauty" is a disease, is pure madness! (or is it addictional beauty?)

Hazel eyes crazy eyes ?

This reminds me a line from the lyrics of the beautiful song I would for you by Perry Farrell (#1 in the photo gallery): "You say my eyes / are crazy eyes"...
As you can see in this gallery, from the most extravagant leader of Jane's Addiction on, there's a lot of "creative" or "artistic" Central-HeteroChromatic people around; actors, movie directors, comedians, supermodels, singers... My personal suggestion is to forget about the "crazy" thing, which could actually affect all of them -and us- and to look at the good one: they're all famous and rich... So, let's concentrate on that point, shall we?

Central heterochromia and Clozapine ?

Don't know who googled this out, but I imagine it was one who noticed a change of some degree in his/her eye's color while under that kind of treatment; now, i know for sure (by personal experience) that some kind of the so-called "antipsychotic" drugs can actually modify the color of the iris (i.e. causing central-heterochromia) along with everything else -or the "invisible" part of the "soul" (psykhē)- behind it. This could actually be the proof that "eyes are the mirror of the soul"... I couldn't be more specific about the drug responsible of causing such effect, but it surely belongs to the category of Clozapine and, as far as I know, this non-undesired effect will cease with the consumption of it. Again, by personal experience I can assure you that in the end that peculiar, short-term, yet unique non-undesired effect is the only one in the scale of positivity ; so think about it, drug users.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Sharbat Gula

Read the complete article and watch the whole Hi-Res picture on The New World Encyclopedia

Sharbat Gula

The famous cover photograph of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic was of an Afghan refugee, a beautiful young girl with hauntingly green eyes. The photograph was taken at the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in 1984 by photographer Steve McCurry. The girl was one of the students in an informal school within the refugee camp; McCurry, rarely given the opportunity to photograph Afghan women, seized the opportunity and captured her image. She was approximately 12 years old at the time.
Although her name was not known, her picture, titled "Afghan Girl," appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic. The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and with her piercing sea-green eyes staring directly into the camera, became a symbol both of the 1980s Afghan conflict and of the refugee situation worldwide. The image itself was named as "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine.

ANOTHER TYPICAL CASE: THE TARSIER

 

Tarsiers are haplorrhine primates of the genus Tarsius, a genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes.
Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of Southeast Asia.
(Wikipedia)

Searching for "tarsier" on Google Images, you'll find mostly heterochromatic tarsiers like this one on Wordpress:

MY EVOLVING IRIS
by Robert G. from Ohio, USA

"I first noticed my changing eyes when I was in 8th grade and I was helping my parents purchase a new laptop and I had the responsibility of making sure all the digital family photos were saved onto a flash drive and I was looking at a close up of me in about the first grade, then the next photo was one in 6th grade of me and my friends and I think we might have been in front of a window when it was taken because my eyes were lit up by sunlight and i noticed that it looked like i had a blurry aqua color blotch on my left eye and i turned back to the kindergarten photo and to my surprise it wasn't there!
So I went to the mirror and checked it out and nearly the whole outside of both my eyes was that aqua color!
Later I also started noticing that there were these light brown, almost yellow "veins" coming from the brown inner circle which made me really think that my eyes were really changing color!"

Here's the "evolution" of Robert's irises from his childhood on:

Here's Robert's eye NOW :

Watching "A Single Man" by Tom Ford I happened to notice actress Julianne Moore's ChC, in this distorted close up of his eye...

Colin Firth

...And the protagonist too, 2011 Academy-Awarded Colin Firth; a great actor indeed

 


*) Terry Jones!

I must admit I already knew the answer, when I wrote the question about the "next Python" above, since I caught Mr. Jones' peculiar (brown/water) CHC in some of the MP shows and/or movies some time ago.
Since it seems I can't google out a bigger close-up of his eye, here are three medium-size pics of them... Hope it will suffice=)

Terry
                Jones

So then, 4 out of 6 Monty Python guys were central-heterochromatic... Does this suggest anything, apart from a good idea for a banner for this site?

 

 


Unchangeable Isabella

Isabella
                Rossellini

Thanks to the case of Robert G., we now know that central-heterochromia may evolve since our first years of age, changing the iris from mono-chromatic to a complete (radial) Rayleigh scattering.
We don't know which color were Isabella Rossellini's eyes when she was a child, but from the beginning of her modeling career in the 80s (on the right=) up to nowadays (left) her eyes haven't changed a bit

 


TIGER EYED SOPHIA

Sophia Loren

So that's how they used to call "cat eyes" in 1960... or is "cat eyes" the way they call "tiger eyes" today?...
mmh...

 


 

BLUE-EYED JOAQUIN?

I've always thought that Joaquin Phoeinx was quite a special-looking guy, except for his "ordinary" blue eyes...

Joaquim Phoenix

Too bad I couldn't find a good big picture of her on the web, but here's Dustin (now about 70 y.o.) ...

Katharine
              McPhee

...And while googling for Katharine Ross I happened to find out this picture of a Katharine McPhee; then I discovered she's an "American pop singer, songwriter, actress, model, and television personality"... And -guess what- she's CHC, too!

Kay Panabaker

... I also happened to google out Kay Panabaker ...

Danielle
              Panabaker

...And her sister Danielle. Panabaker, as well. They're both TV and cinema actresses.

Justin Bieber

I didn't know what a Justin Bieber was, until now. It seems to be some sort of a kid to me, but he's quite ChC, too.

Battleship / John Carter

The storyline of "Battleship" from IMDB: "A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals."
This movie will be released in 2012; in the trailer we hear "dad" Liam Neeson (as the Admiral) saying to his daughter's boyfriend, Canadian actor Taylor Kitsch:

Battleship

Very likely Liam hasn't seen this still image from another 2012 movie trailer, John Carter, starring the very same Kitsch:John Carter

Not a great mystery to us!, is it?


 

The Apple/CC/B-Ellie Eye

I've found this image on the Google News page today; it comes from webnews.it, and it is licensed under CC (Creative Common share alike):

I discovered that it is based on a photo by "Bellie Flopper" (very likely one Ellie Burton) and even on her own eye, as we can see here on Flickr:

Following (B)ellie's photostream we can find -along with some good shot- that she's quite aware of the beauty of her own eyes, and that her ChC factor comes directly from her mom.

I know, I know, this is another tarsier, but he's just too cute... (click to enlarge)


RISE OF THE CHC APES

In the 2011 movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes actor James Franco (see above) as Will Rodman explains the effect
of the cure for the Alzheimer disease, injected into the mother of the apes that will eventually rule the Planet (this one):

There have been absolutely no side effects associated with 1-12, with one exception:

3

for some reason, the chimp's irises exhibit flex of green;
actually it was first noticed in chimp 9, hence her nickname

Rise of the
                  Planet of the Apes

"Bright Eyes"

more Planet

It's true:

Strangely enough, I happened to notice the occurence of ChC-eyed specimens from various species, including the lovely
prosimian tarsier above, but no "apes" (or non-human primates) at all; in this movie we can see how it would look like:

Rise of the planet of the
                apes

PAULA & SPECIAL GUEST: JUNO

Juno

Paula

[11/07/2011] Hi!  I stumbled onto your website about heterochromia today while doing some research.  My puppy's left eye is half light brown and half bright blue (I included a picture of it - it looks fake but it's not.  I wish I had a better picture, but 12 week old puppies don't stay still very well!)  I was wishing I had heterochromia because I think it's beautiful, when I discovered central heterochromia.  My eyes have always been three distinct colors: brown around the pupil, green in the middle, and dark gray/blue around the outside.  They generally look dark green.  I had to shine a very bright flashlight in my eye for the picture I'm attaching.  

Sorry for the image quality - I just had my ipod laying around so I used that.  
Anyway, thanks, and I love the website!

Thanks to you, Paula from Mississippi!

My 15 yo daughter

Chloe

discovered last week that her eyes are central heterochromatic so we looked closer at the rest of the immediate family.  My parents have both got this, my father has blue/grey/green and my mother has grey/green.  Mine are green/orangey brown.  My husband has regular blue eyes yet both of our children have chc eyes and so does our grandson. 
Chloe's are grey/blue/green and

Roxanne

Roxanne

's are blue/green/brown.  Roxanne's son

Alfie

Alfie

's are grey/blue.  My sister and my brother also have these multi toned eyes.  We have never seen them as unusual as we all have them! 
If it were hereditary I'd have expected the colours to have been similar for all of us, but from the attached photo's you'll see we are all very different. 
Both girls had blue eyes as children, mine were green, Alfie's were brilliant blue until the last few months.

Feel free to use my pictures.
Keep up the good work!
Best wishes

Margot

My eyes generally look green, but they actually have a dark blue outer rim, light grayish-blue-green iris, and yellow and brown freckles or flecks. The part that's different from photos I saw on your blog of central heterochromia is that the central ring around the pupil is dark gray, not brown. I have always put down "hazel" on forms when asked what color my eyes are, because I wasn't sure what color to put. They also look really bright green sometimes and blue other times :-)

My niece's eyes are such an unusual color that people stop and stare at her. They are very light seafoam green with blotches that look light orange, and they have and a very dark rim. These are really her eyes.. she doesn't wear contacts, and they have looked like this since she was a little girl:

Another interesting evolutionary ChC case

On 10.07.2012 Mike wrote: Hi Jasper; I just saw your website detailing heterochromia and was astonished to see so many big Hollywood names in the list!
Your theory equating heterochromia with 'greatness' or success has also occured to me in the past. Personally, I am the only person in my family (that I know of) with CH, although my story is similar to the 'My Evolving Iris' story you had posted in that my eyes were almost entirely blue until my mid-teens, then started to change as I aged from 16-20.

Mike

Now my eyes are green in the center, with a spiky, golden ring dividing my inner iris from a field of blue, terminating in darker, grey-green edges. So, I guess technically, my eyes are 'truly' green.If you would have me... I would be honored to be included on your site.I apologize for the picture quality, they were taken with my phone, and had to hold it very close to my face. After a few shots, the flash started to irritate my eyes, but I believe I got a good enough picture to show on your site.

Thank you for sharing, Mike!

One is a close-up of my eye where I think you can see the dark blue outer ring, light gray middle ring, and dark gray inner ring pretty clearly. My father's eyes were similar, except that he had a gold inner ring, and one quarter of one iris was an orange-brown, so he had both central and sectoral heterochromia.

The other is a picture of actor Jeremy Renner, who has beautiful blue-and-amber eyes.

That is the brown splotch is on the bottom left of my right eye and bottom right of my left eye. Until I discovered heterochromia I'd always called my brown splotches my "coffee stains". Also until I found your website I'd never known writer to put blue, green or brown on paperwork (they look blue in these pics but much like Phoenix's eyes they look very green most of the time) :P anyway here are some pictures.

Still image from the 1971 fiasco A Safe Place written and directed by Henry Jaglom, portraying "The Magician" (his character, too) Orson Welles;
ALL THE MAIN CHARACHTERS in this movie have central-heterochromatic irises, including Jack Nicholson (see above), Tuesday Weld and Philip Proctor;
you can easily check it out, since the movie shows a number of close-up shots on their eyes just like this one.

This so-called film also contains hints to the American intelligence mind control program, showing symbols such as the pentagram (5-pointed star)
and the rainbow; I wonder what that has to do with all the actors having central-heterochromatic eyes... Don't you?

 


LUCY...WHAT?

Lucy

Rihanna's eyes are really like that. I haven't seen contact lenses that can correctly reproduce the effect.
Kim Catrall had contact lenses in Trouble in Little China - I have added a photo of her real eye color.

I have also added several other eyes, and mine :-)

Ketutar (That's me, Ketutar from Finland. My mother has blue eyes, my father has the same color eyes as I, his father had the same eye color. All of us had almost brown eyes when we were small, and the grey area just got paler and paler as we grew older. My grandfather had almost pearl grey outer circle when he died at 92, and my father had middle grey eyes when he died at 79. I'm 46.)

LAST, BUT FAR FROM LEAST

HARRY DEAN
                STANTON

September 12, 2014 - I've just discovered that Harry Dean Stanton himself is a central-heterochromatic man; here's the picture to prove it.
So now what, or who else could i ever add to this gallery?
... GOD, maybe?
After this one, I don't really feel the need for that.
I think Harry Dean Stanton is the perfect man to end something, anything, especially if that thing is not so interesting anymore, like spotting
central-heterochromatic celebrities and look for their pictures on the internet...


I'll be glad to add your best pictures here, but I think I'm done with it.
I just couldn't find a better way to end it after 18 years (!) so this is --officially--

THE END...

Hello Jasper!!

What an amazing website! I recently just noticed that I had more than one color in my iris while putting contacts in.. Strange, I know, given the fact that I'm a grown adult. I've enclosed a picture that you may use if you like. Also, I didn't see Olivia Wilde on your list.. She's got amazing eyes with more than a little heterochromia. Thanks!

Here's Sharon's picture:

Hello Jasper! About a month ago i got really intrested in genetics and eye mutations. I also noticed that my eyes have a very different and intresting pattern in them. I tried searching up different images of central heterochromia and blue eyes but i still haven’t found eyes like mine. And i also have a weird yellow ring around the pupil that looks like central heterochromia but i’m not sure. P.S My mom has green eyes and dad has blue eyes. It’s really weird that i have yellow/brown in the middle.Hello Jasper!

Hello again!

I just wanted to say few more things. 
When you look at my eyes with no camera, you can see a perfect brown ring around my eye and it's getting bigger.
But on camera it still looks smaller and darker. I don't know, it's just very weird.

I also found out that my best friend has ocean blue eyes and dark brown in the middle. 

Cheers,
Laura

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH LAURA!

"I am a ghost in a ghost world.
I stop the time, I don't see neither past nor future, I live freely my slavery.
I close my eyes to forsake seeing, I open my eyes and I only see stillness.
Fear doesn't control my mind anymore, I don't run towards useless goals anymore.
I only fight against myself and against my corrupted spirit.
We are universe, I only seek for its energy in me!
I'm fighting as a ghost to survive in a ghost world."

Here are some of his pictures:

 
THANK YOU PAOLO!

"My heterochromatic eyes

The top half of the picture is with the flash on and the bottom is without.
I've been told my eyes are blue, green, gray or gold by different people, and my husband says it changes with my moods. Now I know why my mother insists my eyes are blue when I always thought they were more green
. ;-)

Also Scottish actors, and Doctor Who alumni David Tennant and Peter Capaldi both have heterochromatic eyes. You have an awesome site, Miranda"

Even more awesome now with her pictures:

 

THANK YOU MIRANDA!
