Ever look at Henry Cavill and think that he is one of the most handsome men alive? Because TC Candler does too. The actor has for a long time been referred to as a real live Disney prince because of his build and blue eyes. However, a closer look into the actor’s eyes, from your screens, of course, will reveal that Cavill’s blue eyes also have a speck of brown in them. In his left eye, the actor has a bit of brown which is concealed by contact lenses, blue in Man of Steel, and yellow in The Witcher. This defect, albeit beautiful, is identified as a condition called Heterochromia.

Should Henry Cavill get his Heterochromia treated?

Heterochromia is a condition where the eyes do not match. In some people, this can be full-fledged such as Josh Henderson. This is referred to as complete heterochromia or heterochromia iridium. However, in the case of Henry Cavill he does not have two different eye colors but just a shade of brown in his blue eyes. Cavill’s condition is referred to as segmental heterochromia or heterochromia iridis.

Despite how scary the term sounds, Heterochromia is hardly ever the sign of a medical illness. Another fascinating aspect of Heterochromia is that not everyone is born with it.
