A snapped pupil (sphincter tear or iris sphincter rupture) occurs when trauma to the eye causes disruption of the iris sphincter fibers, producing an irregular, often oval or keyhole-shaped pupil that may react poorly to light. Presentation can range from a subtle notch to a markedly distorted pupil; it may be accompanied by pain, blurred vision, photophobia, hyphema (blood in the anterior chamber), or raised intraocular pressure.
