Leopard Gecko Eye Problem

Yesterday afternoon I purchased a Blazing Blizzard Leopard Gecko from its previous owner. It is a female, approx. 1 & 1/2 years old. This morning as I was handling her I noticed something was unusual about her left eye. It seems as if the iris is torn. While her right eye's pupil is usually just a slit, the left eye's pupil has the shape of a sideways T.

On the left side of the iris, it looks raggedly torn, and it is located in the middle of the eye (as in, the tear is not close to the bottom or top of the eyeball.)

The previous owner made no mention of this prior or after purchasing, and as I was in a rush I did not inspect the gecko entirely.

Thank you for any possible explanations on what this may be, or how it may have been caused.

This is the eye.

Are you talking about the pigmentation in her eye? That's normal for blizzards.

If that isn't what you're speaking of, I'm not sure I see anything wrong with the eye.

I am referring to the much darker spot I have circled. In person it is much more distinguishable and looks like if it's a tear

That's just pigmentation. Blizzards often have pigmentation in their eyes. Sometimes they are even solid.
