Heterochromia is a condition where one eye's iris is a different color than the other eye's iris or one part of an eye's iris is a different color than the rest of the same eye's iris. Heterochromia is more common in dogs and cats than it is in humans. It can be acquired genetically or by an injury or inflammation.

Heterochromia is a condition characterized by a difference in coloration of the iris or skin. It can be genetic or acquired and can result in one eye being a different color than the other or parts of one iris being a different color.

What do people who have heterochromia do on their driver's license?

Heterochromia and driver's license...Hello, as a person with sectoral heterochromia iridius, I just put the dominant color (brown). Most people don't notice anyway. Some licenses now have a "dichromatic" or other box as well, though. In my state they don't have anything for people with heterchromia or sectoral heterochromia. I have heterchromia myself but I just chose the most obvious color because one is a sky blue and the other is light green with a brown streak going downward. People never notice and it really isn't needed because of the low amount of people with noticeable heterochromia.
