So I noticed ever since the day I got her she has hard very sparkly eyes. They’re not weepy, she has no other symptoms but they seem a little wet near the lower lid. The vet said don’t worry about it if there’s no discharge or redness etc.
I’m attaching photos for you to see.

I also want to know if the greyish spots she has in her eyes are just because of heterchromia or is it a sign of EC? She has them in both eyes, the person I got her from said she has the Vienna gene so that’s why. She’s had them since I got her, they just became a bit more prominent as she became a fully grown bun.

To me it does look like heterochromia. With this, the lighter color will only involve the iris and not affect any part of the pupil.

Uveitis caused by EC will usually look a little different and can affect the pupil as well.

Another clouding issue of the eye is a corneal ulcer, which can affect the whole lense.

I would still say heterochromia, and the teariness doesn't look abnormal to me. But if you're still concerned there's a problem, it's best to have your knowledgeable rabbit vet look into it.
 
Heterochromia--Spike had Blue/Brown eyes--one was 2/3 brown and 1/3 blue--his other eye was 2/3 blue and 1/3 brown. Had no problem seeing or any thing else and was with us for a decade before we had to say goodbye.
