The iris dilates in dimmer light to allow more light into the eye through the pupil then lens, through the inner eye onto the retina, and finally to the optical nerve. The iris will contract when lots of light is exposed to the eye to allow less light into the eye, so we are not blinded.

What else can I help you with?
What do pupils control?
amount of light entering eye
Do pupils refract light?
Yes, pupils control the amount of light entering the eye by dilating or constricting in response to changing light conditions. However, refraction of light primarily occurs in the cornea and lens of the eye to focus light onto the retina for visual processing.
What part of the microscope that control the amount of light reaching the slide?
The diaphragm on a microscope controls the amount of light reaching the slide. It is located beneath the stage and can be adjusted to change the intensity and quality of the lighting.
What happens to your pupils when you are in dim light why?
In dim light, your pupils dilate, or enlarge, to allow more light to enter the eye. This response is controlled by the muscles in the iris and is part of the eye's adaptation mechanism to improve visibility in low-light conditions. The dilation helps enhance vision by maximizing the amount of light reaching the retina, where photoreceptors convert light into visual signals.
Why do your pupils constrict?
Pupils constrict in response to bright light to reduce the amount of light entering the eye and protect the sensitive retina from potential damage. Conversely, pupils dilate in dim lighting conditions to allow more light into the eye for improved vision in low-light environments.
How do you get small pupils larger?
Cover your eyes/stop light from reaching them. Your pupils will dialte to become larger only to catch more light. Certain drugs also make your pupils dialate.
What part of microscope regulates the amount of light?
The light diaphragm
Which part of the microscope controls the amount of light?
The condenser is the part of the microscope that controls the amount of light reaching the specimen. By adjusting the condenser's aperture and height, you can regulate the amount and focus of light used for illumination in the microscope.
What allows the user of a microscope to limit the amount of light from a steady light source?
A diaphragm or iris control on the microscope allows the user to adjust the amount of light reaching the specimen from a steady light source. By opening or closing the diaphragm, the user can control the intensity of the light to optimize visibility without overwhelming the sample.
Do fish eye pupils change size?
Not in most fish, but flat fish and eel pupils change in size according to the amount of light they receive - like humans, these fish's pupils become smaller when there is plenty of light.
What two parts of a camera controls the amount of light reaching the film?
The Shutter and the Aperture are the two controls the Shutter is used to control how long the Film is exposed for and Aperture is used to control how much light is let in
Why are my cats pupils round in shape when all others I have seen are like slits?
Cat's pupils can change shape depending on the amount of light they are exposed to. In low light conditions, their pupils dilate to let in more light, appearing larger and rounder. In bright light, their pupils constrict into vertical slits to reduce the amount of light entering their eyes.
