A member asked:

Heterochromia iridium (two different colored eyes) question - what are the most common combinations?

Dr. Alfred H. Rivera answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Blue and brown.: The most common combination is blue and brown. The next most common is green and brown. The difference in the eye iris color is due to the lighter colored eye having less melanin pigment in its iris tissue resulting in a lighter appearing color to the iris of that eye.
