"For the eye altering, alters all..."

So this might be cool. I was looking at photos from over the weekend and noticed that my eyes were coming out two different colors. Upon careful examination I realized I had 3 or 4 brown spots on my good eye (I was born legally blind in my left eye). I dig it; I'm calling it my tiger-eye. What I don't dig is my propensity to WebMD any little malady and thus set off a chain of irrational anxiety bombs. Here's what I've learned thus far: one in a million people get cancer from these lil eye freckles, they're actually called "choroidal nevi" - not nearly as exotic as "tiger-eye" and I need to wear sunglasses more often.
This got me thinking about Kate Bosworth's eyes:
Now, the deal with her is called sectoral heterochromia which, I have to admit, looks much cooler. Then I was reminded of the time I made a flier for my friend's band the spookfish and used the below photo of a wolf with total heterochromia.
I'll let an opthomologist tell me what's really up. Until then, this is one of those bodily oddities that you're kind of like, hmm, ok, I can roll with this (like post-birth control boobs or a cool tooth chip? scars?).
