I have a 6 year old female feline, one of her eyes seems to have changed to a lighter color than the other. It also seems to have a greenish tint/hue to it in certain lighting and when she looks a certain direction. The concern is that only one eye seems to have changed. What, if anything, can you tell me about this change?

Optional Information:
Age: 6; Female; Breed: Calico Cat

Already Tried:
nothing, noticed just recently.

This is something you should have checked by your vet as it may indicate an eye infection or be a warning sign of a viral disease such as Feline Infectious Peritonitis
(FIP) virus, Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
or a protozoan disease like toxoplasmosis.
You are an alert owner to spot this and I think the next step is to have your vet check what you are seeing out.
