iris eye - #6653

Changes in iris color can sometimes happen naturally, but if you notice a significant difference between your two eyes, it’s worth investigating further. Conditions like heterochromia (different iris colors in each eye) can be congenital, but other causes, like certain eye conditions or even trauma, can lead to changes. Your symptoms of eye pain, light sensitivity, and unequal pupil reaction could suggest conditions like iritis or uveitis, both of which can affect the iris and cause discomfort. These conditions often present with redness, pain, and sensitivity to light, and can sometimes be associated with infections or autoimmune disorders. The difference in how your pupils react to light could also indicate issues with the nerves controlling the iris muscles. I recommend seeing an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) as soon as possible. They can perform a thorough eye exam, including checking for signs of inflammation and nerve function, to help identify the cause of your symptoms. Early diagnosis is key to managing these conditions effectively.
