I know a guy that was born with one normal eye and the other one is just blue instead of brown like the other one. With the blue one he cant see anything he just sees with the normal eye.

Having different colored eyes is called "heterochromia".

Some children are born with an eye muscle imbalance that causes the eyes to not work together, so that they see double. The brain doesn't like that, so it blocks out the image coming from one eye. The unused eye becomes weak (lazy eye), and if not forced to see (by putting a patch over the good eye), it eventually becomes blind. If a child is forced to use the weak eye while he is young enough the vision can be brought back to normal, and if he ever loses sight in the good eye, the vision in the weak eye can be brought back up to whatever it was when he was young.
Eye color would not be related to the muscles that turn the eyes, but something also inherited from genes.
