What Causes Heterochromia?
Most heterochromia is genetic โ caused by differences in melanin distribution during fetal development. It can also result from Waardenburg syndrome, Horner syndrome, or eye injury. Congenital heterochromia (present from birth) is almost always harmless and purely cosmetic.
Famous People with Heterochromia
Notable individuals with heterochromia include David Bowie (acquired from injury), Mila Kunis, Kate Bosworth, and Henry Cavill. The condition has been considered both mystical and beautiful throughout human history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Congenital heterochromia is almost always harmless. Acquired heterochromia (developing later in life) should be evaluated by an eye doctor as it can indicate underlying conditions.
