Mostly True
Polycoria is a rare eye condition with multiple pupillary openings, while pseudopolycoria involves iris defects creating extra pupil appearances. True polycoria has functional extra pupils, and an eye exam is needed to differentiate between the two.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (73/100).
The claims about polycoria and pseudopolycoria are generally supported by the evidence. Polycoria is indeed a rare condition where the iris has multiple openings, and pseudopolycoria involves defects that mimic extra pupils. True polycoria's functional nature is confirmed by reliable sources. An eye examination is necessary to distinguish between polycoria and pseudopolycoria, as supported by medical literature.
