Re: heterochromia in the UK and eye colour changing!

[Guest guest]

Yes, I'm from UK, one eye blue one eye brown. I'm 17 and my eyes

have been like this for as long as I remember, apart from when I was

born apparently I had two blue eyes- one eye changed over a period

of time (i guess about the 1st two years of my life).

I don't think eyes do change beyond that, I hope not anyway, I like

having it.

Hi

I am from the UK, Yorkshire to be precise. I am just the same as

you, one blue eye and one brown, and my brown eye has a little bit of

blue in it. I was apparently born with blue eyes, one changed

brown, my mum waited for the other to change but it didn't!

I am 50 years old and my eyes show no sign of turning into 'normal'

eyes! although, I have been told that if I am tired or unwell, my

eyes do tend to look more noticable.

I have had all the reactions you have had, plus some! I have been

asked if i have a false eye, or am I a witch!

I believe Bowie has different coloured eyes due to an accident

as a youngster, so if anyone tells me I am like Daivd Bowie, I have

pleasure in telling them my eyes are natural!

I have also been told it is lucky, but like you, I am still waiting

to win the lottery!

I was always very self conscious of my eyes as I had never met anyone

else with it. I didn't even know it had a name until I found this

group last year. Now I have seen someone else with it, and also know

there are a lot more people out there like me, I don't feel so bad

about it.

Thanks for the replies so far :-)

Yeah apparently I was born with blue eyes too though the left one quickly

changed to

brown. I've never really noticed that the colours are more distinct when I'm ill

or tired,

though some days people remark they're much more striking than others. Mine are

kinda

odd in that I think theyre meant to be blue and that if you look close enough at

the brown

one you can kinda see the blue hiding behind it!!

Yeah I heard that Bowie's eyes changed colour when he was 12 as he got

punched in

the eye. Apparently one of the main reasons for heterochromia is trauma. I'm

guessing

something must have happened when my mum was pregnant with me.. lol though the

only

'trauma' she can recall is falling through a fence once! haha.

My main memory from my childhood is being in the reception class and we were all

sat on

the carpet with our legs crossed. The teacher asked everyone with brown eyes to

go one

side of the room and everyone with blue to go the other. I obv remained sat down

and

when the teacher questionned why, I said I didnt belong in either group! I ended

up

standing with one leg in each group in a star like position. haha.

I've never been self conscious about it really but its kinda awkward after

someone goes

'oooh you have diff coloured eyes' and you're like 'um yeah' and then u just

stand there!!

haha. I like using it to test new boyfriends/love interests to see if they've

asctually been

payin attention to me!! one guy once completely threw me when i covered my eyes

and

asked him what colour they were. he promptly said 'the left ones brown and the

right

one's blue. They're amazing.' LOL

anyways look forward to hearing from more of you!

well...eye color CAN change...but yours probably won't...look at my

pictures it's under Sam's Eyes...my eye color changes ALL the

time...all those pictures were taken within the same two weeks...adn

they are all very different...so yes...eye color can change...but I

doubt yours will if it hasn't/doesn't already...

" WOW " just like Marilyn Manson!! NO, he wears a contact!! I'm sick

of " did you know your eyes are two different colors? " After 25 years

I had no clue!!! Its not a glass eye either, wouldn't it be the same

color? I just love when someone points in my face, almost poking out

one of my eyes, calling everyones attention to it. Then comes an

array of ignorant questions. as posted above!

I like it!! I love having a blue eye and a brown eye. Its one in 8

million people!! I've been told it's sexy too!! =P

its time for us to get revenge on all the IDIOTS that do this stuff. I swear, when it comes to our eyes adults are worse than children who point at the fat guy at the store and say "mommy, mommy hes fat" What I like to do to these brilliant people is tell them that if you look closley you can see other colors almost wrapped around the pupil. Then when they get close to my face I pop out at them and scream, scares the $hi* out of em every time. One guy said he would do the same thing to girls and then kiss them when they got close. <biomed1975@...> wrote: I so feel the same way you guys do, the comments, at least the dumb ones get old.

Until very recently, I've always worn colored contacts to hide it...

before that I got picked on for it. Now I like my eyes - they're like

army camo!
