I have heterochromia iridium. For those that do not know, that means one eye is one color and the other is another. My right eye is blue and my left eye is hazel.
Can my condition cause problems with my eyes? My left eye has terrible vision while my right eye is almost perfect. I do not know if you can understand this, but I can feel like my left eye is either larger or heavier than my right eye.
Excluding myself, everyone back to my great grandfather has blue eyes, and he had green eyes.
Could my left eye be from a genetic mutation or a hidden recessive gene? Why is one eye so much stronger that the other? Is heterochromia iridium common in humans?

My 7 year old son has 2 different colored eyes. His was caused by a traumatic birth process (the doctor used forceps 3 times trying to deliver him only to have to do a c-section). What happened was that the doctor pulled so hard with the forceps he severed one of his carotoid arteries which caused the two different colored eyes. He has what they call Horners Syndrome: Two colored eyes, one eye that has myosis and ptosis. Horners Syndrome is damage to the sympathetic nervous system. It is most common in adults after a surgery. In itself, having two different colored eyes is not really uncommon but you should really make an appointment with an eye doctor because you said one eye "feels" different than the other. You can look on the internet for horners syndrome if you want to look up more information but beware---there is not a lot of information out there.

The hazel gene can manifest as grey, green, hazel or any combination of those colors. So.. a person with blue eyes with brown freckles or a brown ring still has the hazel gene and not true blue eyes. You probably have the genes for hazel eyes, but one eye didn't display its pigment and the other did. It's not usually a big deal and I don't know why you're eyes feel different. You should see an eye doctor about it.

If glasses are worn continuously over time the poor vision will generally become worse. Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into their refractive state and in order to see through your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision that the lenses are designed to correct.

However, here's the good news:
You can improve your eyesight by simply learning, naturally and practicing the correct way to see for a few small minutes a day. “Vision Without Glasses” - program you'll be taken by the hand, it shows you how to improve your vision naturally, permanent and complete solution.

Do you know why your left eye does not see well? Do glasses improve it or does it have eye disease?
Heterochromia is usually just an eye colour variation but can rarely be part of a syndrome with other eye diseases. Your eye doctor will need to examine your eyes to tell you whether the left eye has an eye disease or just needs glasses and whether the disease, if one exists, is related to the heterochromia.
There are a variety of inheritance patterns.
