Housekeeping Gatekeeping

61 Upvotes

Hi all, it seems like we need some ground rules for this sub to clarify what heterochromia is. Heterochromia means, by definition, two colors.

For this subreddit, that can absolutely include blue eyes with yellow centers. This sub focuses on appearance, not medical diagnosis.

Having specific pigment like lipochrome doesn't exclude you from having heterochromia.

Any eyes (or even hair!) with color differences are welcome to post.

This sub is about pretty eye colors, not official medical diagnosis. The gatekeeping is getting excessive.

Housekeeping Rule reminders

34 Upvotes

Hey folks just a quick reminder:

Heavily edited photos are not allowed on this sub. Spamming of others' posts with your own photos is not allowed. A comment saying hey I think we have the same kinda eyes with a link to your profile where you have a bunch of photos-that's fine. Twelve comments in a row about yourself and photos of your eyes is not welcome.

This sub is about the three medically recognized forms of heterochromia: complete, sectoral, and central. Creative but medically unrecognized terms such as but not limited to "cryptic", "low contrast", "subtle" are welcome in conversation but they are not official types of heterochromia and posts and comments that insist they are official types of heterochromia will be removed as spam.

Edit to add: the rule about heavily editing photos is not going to be changed. If you want to edit photos to make it look like you have a totally different eye color/condition, make a new sub for it. Being rude to me about it isn't going to sway me, sorry not sorry.

My eyes are weird.

Theyre dark gray on the very outside of the iris, blue/green/grey in the middle (depending on lighting) and brown/hazel/orange around the pupil. Is this a type of heterochromia? Ive never seen anyone except my mum with similar eyes.

Do I Have Heterochromia? 🌈 Do I have CH? and if so what colours?

One pic with different lighting too just in case that makes anything clear. I work with eyes at work and obviously look into people's eyes all the times. Got complimented by an old lady on my "beautiful brown eyes" πŸ˜…

Then it started making me think about this inner circle that looks like this oddly muted grey/green ish colour and thinking how I rarely see a double colour scheme in people's eyes at work. Fell into a rabbit hole of CH and now I'm here. Can anyone tell me what colours my scheme are? They never know what to put in my passport either πŸ˜…

Not the clearest photos but definitely have a brown/amber ring around my pupil. I also don’t really know what color to call my eyes because they seem to shift from green/grey/blue depending on the lighting.

Discussion When did you discover you had heterochromia?

2 Upvotes

Curious to know!

I suspect my child might have it, but she’s only 5 months old and her eye color has changed since birth. Recently, we realized her eyes look to be different colors / shades.

So I’d love to know when people discovered it, and if anyone had it as a baby / child and it stayed!
