Sometimes it’s genetic mosaicism, meaning that different parts of the body have differing genomes. This can happen due to an early mutation in part of a developing embryo, or when there were two embryos initially, but they fused into one organism without any obvious indication of it. It’s not common, but apparently not super rare either.

Or possibly one eye is just discolored, like you can have a discolored patch on your skin, the same can happen with an eye.
