My son's eyes are different from one and another We joke about how his left eye is from dh, and his right eye is from me. You see..my dh has bigger eyes then me and has what you call a "double" fold eyelid. As for me, I have smaller eyes (chinese), and have no folds. SooOoOOO when my son has both eyes fully open, his eyes look completely different, and one bigger then the other. He is now 3months old (adjusted age just over 1week old). BTW...he is a preemie if it makes any different. I am wondering if anyone of you ladies has had a child with 2 different eyes, but eventually evened out? I am worried, because I don't want this to be permanent for him. It is quite noticeable. I don't want him to be teased in the long run

Are they different colors or just a different shape?

| They are different shape, and different characteristics. For example...picture someone with one eye from a caucasion, and one eye from an asian.

| One of my eyes is a little bit bigger than the other but honestly you can't really tell unless I'm tired (left eye). Here's a picture. 
I really don't think anyone else can notice. I mean my parents can notice it, I can notice it but it doesn't bother me at all.

I lived in Japan for eight years, and taught high school for two years. The mixed kids I met or taught always had eyes that "matched". Maybe your baby will grow out of it? Or maybe it's the genetic version of a lazy eye? If you're worried, it might be a nice idea to ask a doctor. Canada seems like the kind of place where doctors might know a lot about mixed kids.
I tried looking around the internet in Japanese for information on parents who have experienced this, but so far I haven't found anything. My kids (whenever I get around to having them!!) will be mixed Asian and Caucasian too, so I'm interested in the answer to this question!
Cheer up!! I'm sure your baby is just GORGEOUS!!

I totally can't picture this and so I don't really understand. Can you post a picture?
I'm guessing if it's something you're really concerned about (yes, kids are pretty horrible to each other, but tolerance of differences seems to be much more common now than it was when I was little), there might be a surgical solution before your lo goes to school. Talk to your doctor.

This might help you to picture it:
Usually asian eyes don't have a fold in the eyelid:
Whereas caucasian eyes do:
