student with one brown, one blue eye

here's one of our students with different coloured eyes.. nice guy, plays basketball. we have 3 students like that and 1 student with 2 blue eyes (all chinese). They are all deaf.

here are 2 links to learn more about why pple have diferent coloured eyes. it seems it's a matter of melanocytes not reaching the right place. it may or may not be indicative of a medical condition.
