How would a person see with an adjustable cross-shaped pupil?

+0
−0

I know that this would, perhaps, be biologically impossible, but suppose it's possible, how would such person see?

I know that cats have a vertical adjustable pupil and goats have a horizontal one, mixing both would be something kind of like this (I made a trashy editing on a cat eye just to demonstrate):

enter image description here

It wouldn't be permanent, i.e., the pupil would be able to adjust itself from a cross-shaped pupil to a round one.

A pupil like that would offer any benefits? What would be the disadvantages?
