Different Colored Eyes in Infant

My daughter is almost 3 months old and one eye is blue while the other has changed to brown. I didnt think anything of it until i just read it could be normal or a sign of a problem. I called the eye dr and they said to bring her in for an exam just to be safe. Thats not til next week. Has anyone had this with their baby? My pediatrician didnt seem to think anything of it but im a little freaked out now. Anyone know about this?? My other kids eyes changed color the first year but i dont recall them being 2 different colors.

What can I do next?

They are called husky eyes. My little sisters Boyf. in school had one bright blue one gray. Then literally like two weeks after i noticed it in him, I noticed my older one had them. He has one bright blue and one hazel to brown eye. I love it. gives him more character. and he wasnt lacking any from the start. They are few and far to find them...it is cool!!

It can be a genetic anomoly. I had a friend with 2 very different color eyes. David Bowie has 2 different colored eyes, as does Mila Kunis and Jane Seymour, and several other celebrities. It is called heterochroma and doesn't affect vision at all.

Probably nothing to worry about. I have always had one green & one blue. It's nice to be unique!

I have a blue eye and a brown eye, they too changed when I was a few months old. My great great grandma had also had them! I have glasses but not because of my eye color difference. There's only a problem if one eye was injured, it's worth getting checked by an eye doctor anyway maybe. It's called heterochromia and is very rare (1:300,000?) but happens! And unfortunately it is more common in dogs. I even had a cat with it growing up, that was cool! I went to high school and college with two guys that had it too, so do a few celebrities: David Bowie, Jane Seymour, and Kate bosworth. Everyone thinks my eyes are pretty! I hated being "different" as a kid but now appreciate it!

My mom had 2 different colors eyes. 1 is brown, and the othe is 1/2 green and 1/2 brown. Been that way her whole life.

I wouldn't panic. Might just be a cool genetic thing.

My best friend growing up had one brown eye and one blue eye. No problems at all or even glasses, just different colored eyes. People used to think it was cool too in grade school so if she ends up with different colored eyes don't worry. Very unique :)
