Corectopia

An eye with an off-centered pupil.

Corectopia is the displacement of the eye's pupil from its normal, central position.[1] It may be associated with high myopia or ectopia lentis, among other conditions.[2] Medical or surgical intervention may be indicated for the treatment of corectopia in some cases.[3]
