The Eyes Have It! 14 Celebrities With Different Colored Eyes

July 12th is International Different Colored Eyes Day; a condition known as Heterochromia iridum. Just another funky way we're all unique.

Heterochromia iridum is a pigmentation of the irises (the coloured bit of your eye).

For some people it is very subtle, some very distinct. Some appear as totally different colours, others may have dark coloured dots in their iris. It doesn't effect the eyesight of the person in most cases at all. It can be caused by many things. Genetics, illness or disease or injury.
