What is the technical name for having different-colored eyes?
Hematuria
Chromatolysis
Heterochromia
Atherosclerosis
Heterochromia is a condition in which the iris in one eye has a different color than the iris of the other eye. While fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States possess this unique characteristic, it’s actually common among our furry companions, including dogs like Dalmatians and Australian sheepdogs, as well as cats and horses. The word itself derives from the Greek words “heteros,” signifying different, and “chroma,” meaning color. Heterochromia can be present from birth, or acquired later in life due to injury, disease, or other factors.
The correct answer is Heterochromia.
