Why is my pupil shaped like a star?
A star-shaped pupil, also known as a "star-shaped keratoconus," can be a result of corneal irregularities or conditions such as keratoconus, where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape.

It’s essential to consult an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation and proper diagnosis.
