Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Iris heterochromia: This can be congenital or acquired. If acquired, it could be due to disease in one eye but not the other. Congenital iris heterochromia can be due to a birth injury causing a Horner's syndrome. You should see an ophthalmologist for evaluation.
