Is Central Heterochromia detrimental?My optometrist told me I have central heterochromia where the inner part of my iris is brownish and the rest of it is green. I have 20/20 vision and I've been reading up that it may be caused by toxin imbalances in the body that is genetic?
I'm joining the air force and they care quite a bit about your eyes and vision, so is there anything detrimental to your eyesight with this condition, or is it purely acidity in the stomach type stuff?
Would be nice to have some answers from people who work in this field, Thanks!

Hi thimleeii, if your vision is completely normal so heterochromia is not considered of a medical problem.
But heterochromia can be due to disease(for example: ocular albinism, aniridia, iris coloboma, iritis, iris melanoma, iris metastases and Waardenburg syndrome) but is most often due to previous trauma or surgery. Your optometrist most likely find out a cause of your heterochromia.

A brownish circle around the pupil is a common colour variation of the iris and is completely normal. It is not due to toxins and will not affect your eyesight nor be a concern to the air force.
