Although a mother and her son share the same condition, it has affected them differently. Elizabeth, from Ohio, has one blue eye and one deep brown eye, while her son Liam has one blue eye and another that is a mix of blue and black. Heterochromia is a rare condition—fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. are affected—and it is rarely passed down to the next generation. Yet, Elizabeth and her son are not the only family members with it: her father and sisters also have heterochromia.
Experts say the condition has no negative effects, especially if someone is born with it. However, it can sometimes indicate another condition, such as piebaldism, which causes a lack of pigmentation in hair or skin.
Elizabeth loves that her rare condition makes her and her son stand out from millions of people. She explains that she wants to use her unique eyes to show others that “being different is good” and emphasizes, “I love my eyes because they are one of a kind.”
