If they haven't already, parents need to get a specialist children's opthalmologist opinion. There are some rare underlying medical conditions which can go with this '(although mostly it's just the eyes without anything ominous).

Eye doctor here. I would recommend that your friend seeks out a consult with pediatric ophthalmology. They may need to ask their pediatrician for a referral, or see an optometrist first, depending on where they're located. The nasal margin of the iris/cornea looks a bit unusual - this may just be a reflection, but if this were my child, I'd want them evaluated.

Pediatric eye specialist checking in here. Get this kid in to ophthalmology ASAP. I’m seeing iris heterochromia and anisocoria. This child needs to be evaluated for Horner’s Syndrome.
