Mismatched Eyes: Difference between revisions

Sometimes referred to as "boat lights", a reference to the red and green lights that mark port and starboard on boats and aircraft. Note that for proper boat lights the red eye would be the left eye. Souseiseki's eyes<ref>the one in the background [[Rozen Maiden|desu]]</ref> are proper boat lights, while Suiseiseki's are reverse boat lights.

 

 

{{examples}}

* Tyrion Lannister in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has, in addition to several other congenital defects, either heterochromia or partial aniridia, with one green eye and one black one.

** Also, the minor character Shiera Seastar had one green and one blue eye, from the Dunk & Egg novels set in the same 'verse.

** Just so you realize how [[Ax Crazy]] Teatime really is, in a world where magic <s> has costs and often goes haywire</s> ''is the equivalent of nuclear weapons'', he ''stuck a magical eyeball into his own head''.

** Nanny Ogg's cat, Greebo, also has mismatched eyes, one's a normal yellow cat's eye, and the other is pearly white and blind, presumably due to one of the many fights he's had with animals much bigger than him.

* In one chapter of ''[[Goosebumps]]'' TV adaptation, there is a girl, best friend of the protagonist of that episode who has different coloured eyes, one blue and one in a darker greenish tone. That's because {{spoiler|she is in fact a huskie dog, and all the kids in town, protagonist included, were puppies genetically modified to become human}}.

* Lieutenant Aiden Ford of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' has one eye turn completely black due to an accident during a Wraith attack on the city. This same accident also got him hopped up on and addicted to [[Psycho Serum|Wraith enzyme]], causing him to go AWOL and hunt down the Wraith on his own.

* From ''[[CSI]]'', {{spoiler|Lady Heather's daughter has one brown and one blue eye. This becomes a horrific plot point when the daughter becomes a victim of an insane Mengele wannabe who prefers his women with two blue eyes.}}

** "Ian Moone", a recent{{when}} villain on the series, has one blue and one brown eye. In this case, it's presumably done to make him recognizable to the audience, as he wears a skin-tight bodysuit and full-face mask.

*** [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader14.php Apparently] heterochromia (as well as wings that are both feathered and bat-like) are traits of an old and reclusive clan, though they occasionally appear in members of other clans and it's usually considered a good omen when they do.

* Most of the Val'Sullisin'rune family in ''[[Drowtales]]'' have mismatched eyes, a fact that is commonly known in the setting and referred to as "devil eyes" in the case of the Ill'haress Ash'waren. It is not clear that they have any sort of "dual nature".

* Kade from ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' has a yellow/gold left eye and a blue right eye. Of course, he ''is'' a [[Our Werebeasts Are Different|Werecat]]...

* The chimera boy [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-01-05 Archie] from Ellen's second life dreams in ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', although he hasn't been drawn in colour yet, appears to have heterochromia, given that one of his eyes is filled, and the other has a pupil and a gap between the pupil and the outline of the iris.

* ''Too Big To Fail'' author [[wikipedia:Andrew Ross Sorkin|Andrew Ross Sorkin]] has one normal hazel eye and one golden-brown cat-like eye (which looks [[Evil Eye|really unnerving]] on a big HD screen).

* [[Catherine Tate]] has central heterochromia [http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5360/tateeyes.png as seen in "Turn Left"].

* [[Gracie Allen]] had different colored irises. When TV shifted to color, she retired (leaving [[George Burns]] as a solo act); she felt that it was too distracting/embarrassing to work in color.

 

* Twins tend to be born with heterochromia.

* An episode of "Medical incredible" had an episode that included this. While one could not tell by looking at the boy, if you looked in photographs, he had Mismatched Eyes. His mother thought this was ''very'' strange because it kept showing up in every single photograph, and ''only'' in photographs. Everyone else thought it was just a trick of the light or a camera flaw, but she knew something was up, so she finally insisted that doctors check his eye in case there was something wrong. Turns out, [[Oh Crap|this was because of a rare eye cancer]]. You can rest easily - because they caught it early, they could cure it, and the boy is alive.
