Pupils aren't centred?

I'm a 23 year old, in last months I've been to 3 optometrist and 1 glaucoma specialist due to a false IOP reading (I was cleared after two follows up over two years).

I noticed this awhile ago (2-3 years ago?). I've never mentioned it at a eye carer and neither have they. but If my pupils are constricted, they're both symmetrical in position, but that position is slightly inwards (nose) and slightly high (eyebrow). Same in each eye. I searched on google and immediately people went too ICE Syndrome(s) / corectopia. But how can that be - wouldn't my check-ups have mentioned something like this?

slightly concerned.

I am not sure what you mean by "false" IOP reading. The IOP changes hourly so it varies depending on the time of day like your pulse and blood sugar.   It will still need to be checked at least annually and I would suggest an ophthalmologist eye MD.  The pupil is not in the exact center. It is closer to the nose than the ear.  More so in some people than others. The difference between exact center and where the pupil is has a name "Angle Kappa"     ICE is easy diagnosis to make, if you have seen that many eye doctors you don't have ICE.

Additionally I've realised both eyes (constricted to the fullest) aren't perfectly round and seem to ''cut corners'' if that makes any sense...
