What Is Heterochromia/Heterochromia Iridum?
Bu e-kitob haqida
Heterochromia iridis is a condition in which the iris in one eye has a different color than the iris of the other eye.
The iris is the tissue of the eye that surrounds the pupil and imparts a color, whether green, blue, brown, hazel, grey, or other, to the eye.
Heterochromia iridis is to be differentiated from heterochromia (difference in color) iridum (within the iris of one eye).
Iris color is the result of the pigment that is present in the iris.
Brown eyes have large amounts of melanin pigment deposits, and blue eyes have a lack of melanin.
Although eye color is inherited, the inheritance pattern is complex, with interaction of more than one gene.
These genes interact to provide the full constellation of colors.
Other genes may determine the pattern and placement of pigment in the iris, thereby accounting for solid brown as opposed to rays of color.
Normally, the two irises of an individual are of the same color.
In heterochromia, the affected eye may be hyperpigmented (darker or hyperchromic) or hypopigmented (lighter or hypochromic).
Eye color is determined primarily by the concentration and distribution of melanin within the iris tissues.
Thus, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to describe precisely Causes and Risk Factors, History, Diagnosis Treatment etc. along with plenty of Images and Image Gallery for better understanding of a quaint but an interesting entity for busy Medicos at one Click!

It is my passion to research for the Multidisciplinary Current/
I’m inspired for this ardent process after getting an overwhelming response (from Medical Community throughout India) for my two E- Booklets titled-"Medical Palmistry" & "Medical Mycoses" donated (4,000 copies of each) to two Pharmaceuticals in India,-(a multinational giant pharma company) "GLENMARK PHARMA'' & "MICROLAB" respectively(both of these are available at Amazon.com.at an affordable price at present).
Moreover one of my E- Booklet titled-"CRISPR Cas-9" - An enzymatic Scissor has also attracted most of the readers throughout the world till day (>50 Copies have been sold within a year).
At present there are >300 interesting & informative and a safe research oriented Multidisciplinary E- Booklets are available at Amazon.com.at affordable prices.
In view of this I have published a catalogue titled"A Catalogue of an Elegant 200 compilation of Multidisciplinary E-Medical Booklets" enabling the readers to select the topic of choice and buy at leisure from, amazon.com/author/dr.hakim_e-
