No, it's not; some people have it genetically inherited. It can be a sign of too many toxins in the body, is sometimes caused by injuries in the brain, tumors, certain eye drops, or caused by conjoint twins. It's not, in any way, a disease itself.
Unless, of course, you're talking about Simple Heterochromia, which is a disease where there are other ocular or systematic problems.
well id need a pic
yes is it
Heterochromia is a genetic mutation that cannot be passed down to children. It occurs as a defect in meiosis, and it produces an extra gene for eye colour. Alas, there is a greater chance that the child of a person with heterochromia will also get heterochromia, because there is a better chance of the gene mutating. But still, the chance of heterochromia is rare nonetheless.
Complete Heterochromia is rare in humans, but it is common in animals such as dogs and cats.
sectoral heterochromia is an autosomally dominant trait, meaning it is inherited from both your parents.
Nope
you are born with heterochromia. my left eye is blue with gold around the pupil.the top of my right eye is blue and the bottom of it is brown.my great uncle had hectochromia.That is wrong. Heterochromia has many causes, including being born with it:Eye injuryEye inflammationEye tumorBleeding in the eyeor other medical conditionsTo be born with it, you'd have to be born with different melanin levels.If you want Heterochromia that bad, have someone punch you in the eye as hard as they can. It will inflame for a few days, then most likely (and I mean VERY likely) will cause Heterochromia in the eye you were hit in.Otherwise, buy colored contacts.

It's called Heterochromia. It's the result of a lack of melanin(a pigment) and can be either inherited or caused by disease or injury.

it depends on your point of view. Heterochromia is just a variation in eye color; not harmful.
my good sir, i am asking the exact same question...
3.5%
Actually, a decently sized amount of people have Central Heterochromia and neither is it very rare to have Sectoral Heterochromia. As for the numbers, I don't know the exact percent.
Nope
Heterochromia.
You can't, it's genetic.
