The word corectopia refers to the observation of a pupil that is deviated from its normal position.
This lady has corectopia, and is complaining bitterly about symptoms related to photophobia.
She has had lens surgery, and dysphotopsias are not insignificant as a result.
The cause is damage to the iris from SHINGLES, and note how the iris is drawn down to the angle at 7 o’clock.
Note the white area above which is LENS EPITHELIAL CELLS, that proliferate to form a SOEMMERINGS RING, a type of secondary cataract.
I have offered this lady pupilloplasty, a surgical approach to close down the pupil and reduce symptoms. It is permanent, not curative but makes vision more comfortable.
