Diplocoria

/ˌdɪploʊˈkɔːriə/ noun

Definition

An optical or visual condition where a person sees two pupils (or perceived pupils) in the eye, or a related visual disturbance.

Etymology

From Greek 'diplos' (double) + 'kore' (pupil of the eye) + '-ia' (medical condition). This ophthalmological term describes either structural eye variations or perceptual visual phenomena.

Kelly Says

Diplocoria is incredibly rare, but when it occurs, it creates fascinating visual disturbances that help eye doctors understand how our pupils and vision work together to focus and see clearly.
