Blown eyes

["Stephen Ambrose" <>]

My guess is that the condition is either a physical injury to the eye,
mutation, or atrophy (degeneration) of the iris. Iris atrophy is a rare
condition, which can be caused by sexually-transmitted diseases or extreme
malnutrition.

I was looking at an overseas birding blog this morning while having a
coffee, and it was about "blown eyes", a term I hadn't heard before.  It
seems to be when the pupil leaks into the iris. Is this a term used here?  


I've recorded it once that I remember in a photo of a Great Egret, where one
eye was normal, and the other had a dark area going from the pupil into the
coloured area.  Has anyone else seen this?  


The blog writer speculated about possible causes.  Does anyone have thoughts
about that?

Thanks.
