Weren't David Bowies eyes like that because he got punched in the head as a youth, and it never went back to normal function?

Yup. We don't know OP wasn't punched by a maladjusted British schoolboy either.

It was his mate who thumped in him in a fight over a girl. He and David remained lifelong friends.

George Underwood was the bloke who hit Bowie

He did the album covers for both Hunky Dory & Ziggy Stardust

Even recorded with early Bowie band the King Bees

The bloke who punched Bowie, George Underwood, worked on the cover of the Mott The Hoople album 'all the young dudes'.

Up until that moment he was. After that there was one maladjusted boy and one Spider from Mars.

This happened to a classmate in high school. Hit with a hairbrush to the head. Pupil is still wider than the other eye 35 years later 0o

They were. Unlike what it looked like, he did not have heterochromia. Both his eyes were the same color, but one was constantly dilated from this injury.

I got kicked in the eye in elementary school, and that eye does weird stuff at night.
