Is the amount of light allowed in the eye regulated by the pupil?
The lens and the pupil of the eye are two independent parts. The lens focuses light onto the Retina, and the pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye. So, if the light intensity changed while you were focused on a particular object, the size of the pupil would change, but the lens focus would not.
How does the iris adjust to the amount of light that enter he?
The iris is a muscle located behind the cornea of the eye. It adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye. In bright light, the iris contracts to make the pupil smaller, limiting the amount of light that reaches the retina. In low light, the iris relaxes, making the pupil larger to allow more light into the eye.

What Is the part of the eye that contracts and dilates to adjust the amount of light entering the pupil.?
IrisThe colored part of the eye which helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye. When there is bright light, the iris closes the pupil to let in less light. And when there is low light, the iris opens up the pupil to let in more lightLensFocuses light rays onto the retina. The lens is transparent, and can be replaced if necessary. Our lens deteriorates as we age, resulting in the need for reading glasses. Intraocular lenses are used to replace lenses clouded by cataracts.CorneaThe clear front window of the eye which transmits and focuses (i.e., sharpness or clarity) light into the eye. Corrective laser surgery reshapes the cornea, changing the focus.
What organ in your eye is sensitive to light?
The pupil in your eye (the black center) is what controls how much light is allowed to enter your eye. The wider the pupil is, the more light is let in. When your eyes feel sensitive to light, it is because the pupil is letting in excessive light. Sometimes, it is a neurological event that makes your eyes sensitive to light, such as a migraine headache. In any case, the area of the brain that is affected by light sensitivity is the portion that is dedicated to the processing of visual information, and that is the occipital cortex.
Why do pupils in your eyes grow larger in the dark?
