If you’re watching Max Scherzer pitch in the 2023 World Series for the Texas Rangers, you may have noticed he has two different-colored eyes. The left one is brown and the right one is blue.
What’s that all about? Here’s the answer: It’s a condition known as heterochromia.
Scherzer has had this since he was young, and per the American Academy of Opthamology, “if your infant has heterochromia, he or she should be examined by an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist will confirm the appearance of heterochromia and look for any underlying causes. In most cases, there will be no concerning disease or condition causing the eye color variation. However, it is important to rule out these conditions.”
There you have it!
