dear parent, this is called iris coloboma which is due to incomplete development of the iris
this will lead to increased sensitivity to light as the pupil is larger than normal and thus lets more light inside the eye
yiu need to get the eyes of your child examined to make sure that the defect doesn't extend all the way back and affect other parts of the eyes such as lens and retina
