The pupil of your eye changes (growing bigger and smaller) to control light entering the eye. This allows you to see in both bright and dim light. The muscles that control the size of the pupil are called sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae. Your pupil increases in size when there is little to no light present, and decreases in size when more light becomes available.

∙ 11y agoThe pupil of a human eye grows bigger, or dilates, when there is not much light available (it is dark) to collect as much light from its surroundings as it can. Conversely, if, say, someone is shining a penlight in your eyes, the pupils dilate to avoid damage by the wave of light.

Do you have to think about it when you want the size of your pupil to change?
No; the change in the size of your pupil is an involuntary action, meaning that it happens without you thinking about it. The size of your pupils adjust to stimuli, such as bright light. If a bright light was shined in your eyes, your pupils would get smaller in order to let as little light in as possible. Reversely, if you're in a dark room, your pupils will get bigger to let in as much light as possible.
