I have complete heterochromia, is this cause for further physical examination?

Question

I'm looking to enlist in the military (Marines), and I'm rather physically and mentally fit for it.

The only thing that crossed my mind is the fact that I have complete heterochromia (one eye is brown, the other is a weird grayish-blue color).

While I'm pretty sure this is far from enough for a DQ, I also know it's going to be something that will be noticed right away during the physical. I'd just like to know what sort of question would be asked or if anything else (and what) would be checked because of it.

The reason this concerns me is because it's also known to be associated with ocular diseases or injuries to the eyes- mine are just hereditary, but that fact is not on record.

@Menifee- that has no relevance to the question. I'm not even gay.

Answer 1

i can answer this question. I doesnt cause any further examination. My husband has the same condition, he has one green and one blue eye. And his first MOS was 19D ,he served as a sniper in Kosovo. He isactive duty in the army for almost 12 years.If you want to drop me a line and i get you in contact with him.

Answer 2

Do you show any symptoms of other diseases?
If not then I wouldn't worry about it.
Until the early 1900's the military considered those with Grey eyes to be excellent marksmen and therefore recruited these individuals heavily. The practice stopped around WW1, but even by then it was medical knowledge that alot of these folks also suffered from a uveitis(not all of them do, but a majority are afflicted).
Unless you have a underlying medical problem they shouldn't have any reason to deny your enlistment.

Answer 3

Heterochromia is not disqualifying.

Answer 4

They will only ask (and check) to see if it affects your eyesight....

Answer 5

I think the military's policy is "Don't ask, don't tell."

Answer 6

It does not matter as long as you can see with them sweetie.
