It’s the last installment of our Celebrity Eye Facts series!

Heterochromia Iridis (TWO DIFFERENT COLORED IRISES). If just part of an iris is different to the remainder of the eye, this is known as partial or sectoral heterochromia. When heterochromia is present at or shortly after birth is usually hereditary or due to intrauterine disease or injury. Congenital heterochromia may be familial and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Inherited eye color is determined by multiple genes. Environmental or acquired factors can alter these inherited traits.
