Heterochromia
Heterochromia is the condition of having two differently colored eyes. Chris claims although his eyes were originally blue, in high school he got pink eye in his right eye and the prescribed eye drops turned it green. This is a fact he uses to introduce himself to girls:
- Anna in The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer
- Blanca in an email
- Emily during their date
It is also a prominent feature of his Mary Sue renditions. In spite of all this, the condition isn't particularly noticeable upon examination of Chris, and the less kind amongst us might presume that it is only mentioned for want of any other endearing characteristics. According to eye witnesses, Chris's eyes are indeed differently colored but not to the degree Chris says:
“ | Chris' eyes are very, VERY slightly different in color. It's nothing you would be able to notice unless he fucking points it out to you...or you just happen to notice small details like that. | ” |

A close examination of Chris's eyes seems to show that Chris's green eye is more of a hazelish/greenish shade of blue rather than a distinctly green eye as Chris portrays. It should also be noted that, despite his insistence on pointing out that his eyes are different colors, Chris often mistakenly colors his right eye blue and left eye green in his comics. Perhaps this is retardation, perhaps he doesn't pay too much attention while coloring to get the details right for his Marty Stu, or perhaps Chris himself really doesn't notice the difference between the colors of both of his eyes enough to get them accurately more than about 50 percent of the time.
