How would red eyes occur in a human (without underlying medical conditions)?

The main character in my setting is a human with red irises. I know that severe cases of albinism can cause somebody's eyes to appear red, but that's actually caused by light reflecting off the blood vessels in the retina. I've also heard that Harlequin-type ichthyosis can cause red eyes, but I'm not 100% sure about that, and the skin problems there aren't going to work.

What I really want is for him to look ordinary and be reasonably healthy, except for the fact that his irises are definitely red. So, how would this occur, and how would it be diagnosed with WW1-era medicine or technology?
