except for mine have a blue ring around the outside and then inside there is green and it fades into light brown. which basically means my eyes have a circle of blue, inside that is a circle of green, and inside that is a circle of light brown. What causes this? Is this common? Is it hereditary because my mom has blue/grey eyes and my dad has hazel?

this is what my eyes look like, ignore the previous link.

by the way, can someone tell me how you get these kind of eyes (I know thats kind of a stupid question, but still)

Answer 1

Eyes with a variety of colours are called hazel. Many eyes, even the non hazel ones, have lighter or darker rings on the outside or near the pupil, it is not uncommon.

Yes, it is hereditary. There are several genes involved in eye colour and each gene can have various levels of expression. A blue eyed parent and hazel eyed parent can have children with blue, green, hazel or brown eyes with any combination of those colours in the hazel eyed children.

Answer 2

genetics determines the color of your eyes and in my opinion your eyes aren't that common. But, my mom has eyes that kinda sound like yours. Her's are like Hazel with a blue ring around the outside. If you want to find out more about eye color go to... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color.
