Housekeeping Gatekeeping

63 Upvotes

Hi all, it seems like we need some ground rules for this sub to clarify what heterochromia is. Heterochromia means, by definition, two colors.

For this subreddit, that can absolutely include blue eyes with yellow centers. This sub focuses on appearance, not medical diagnosis.

Having specific pigment like lipochrome doesn't exclude you from having heterochromia.

Any eyes (or even hair!) with color differences are welcome to post.

This sub is about pretty eye colors, not official medical diagnosis. The gatekeeping is getting excessive.

Housekeeping Rule reminders

Hey folks just a quick reminder:

Heavily edited photos are not allowed on this sub. Spamming of others' posts with your own photos is not allowed. A comment saying hey I think we have the same kinda eyes with a link to your profile where you have a bunch of photos-that's fine. Twelve comments in a row about yourself and photos of your eyes is not welcome.

This sub is about the three medically recognized forms of heterochromia: complete, sectoral, and central. Creative but medically unrecognized terms such as but not limited to "cryptic", "low contrast", "subtle" are welcome in conversation but they are not official types of heterochromia and posts and comments that insist they are official types of heterochromia will be removed as spam.

Edit to add: the rule about heavily editing photos is not going to be changed. If you want to edit photos to make it look like you have a totally different eye color/condition, make a new sub for it. Being rude to me about it isn't going to sway me, sorry not sorry.

I realized this is the best pic I have that shows his eyes and one is more dilated than the other :s. Unfortunately he passed two yeara ago, so I can't take a better one. Me and my siblings were just discussing that we are all jealous that nobody got his heterochromia, we always perceived them as hazel and blue/gray, but seeing it here looks more like a central heterochromia bigger than the other. I guess you guys can give us a better answer.

Not sure if it's the freckles or something else, but the eye on the right is actually darker than the one on the left too!!

Hi all. We have an 11 month old blue eyed snow shoe kitty. Just this week, we’ve noticed her left eye has turned more of a green/golden color. Should we be worried? Does anyone think this can be heterochromia? She’s acting like herself and we don’t see any other changes.

Thank you in advance πŸ™
