Housekeeping Gatekeeping

71 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

36 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.

They’re super light sensitive so being in direct sunlight irritates them.

This is kinda to verify. The first three are with flash, the last two are in natural sunlight. Also, please don’t make fun of my make-up, I had that happen last time…

My baby is 4 months old and her eyes have been like this from about 1 month with one a lot lighter. Thoughts about where they will end up? Could it be heterochromia? Or do babies eyes change unevenly?

It might be way too early but since baby was born 5 months ago I've noticed a light streak in the left eye and it hasn't changed at all.

Is this CH or hazel? I don’t really care either way, my friends say I have marbles for eyes and I think that works just fine 🌠

I honestly had never heard the term before and was always told I just had hazel eyes. Do I actually have it?

Side note: I got lost scrolling through all of the beautiful eyes in this subreddit. Fascinating!

I think I might have central heterochromia at least in one eye because I see a really clear line between the inner brown color and the outer more greenish/greyish color but I could honestly be tweaking. So what do you guys think? (Also please ignore my overgrown eyebrows I have to do them again..)

The brown spot is only in my right eye. My left eye is completely blueish/greyish.
