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.
Why do pupils constrict?
Pupils constrict when an object is brought closer to the eyes, to help them focus properly on it. Also pupils constrict when hit by light, the brighter the light, the bigger the constriction. If an equal amount of light shines into both eyes, the degree of constriction is generally equal. However, if the light is directed primarily into one eye (i.e., with a flashlight), the pupil of that eye greatly constricts (direct reflex) while the pupil of the other eye shows a much smaller degree of constriction (consensual reflex).
Is the response of your pupil a reflex or a voluntary action?
The constriction of pupils in response to bright light is called the pupillary light reflex. If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response).This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils. It is considered involuntary since you don't think about it.

What cranial nerve controls the response of the illuminated eye?
If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response). This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils.
If your pupils are tiny does it mean your on drugs?
Not necessarily. If you are in very bright lighting, your pupils will constrict to limit the amount of light allowed to enter your eye. This protects the retina from damage. Likewise, in very low light levels, your pupils will dilate (enlarge) in order to allow more light into the eye and improve vision. This is a normal process. However, there are a number of drugs that will cause the pupils to constrict, even to the point where they have a "pin-point" appearance. Opioid drugs (drugs derived from the poppy plant) such as opium, heroin, etc., will cause this pupillary constriction to the point of looking pin-point, even if exposed to low lighting levels. If a person is in normal lighting and has pin-point pupils, there is most likely something effecting this abnormal change.

What is the only part of the human body that is capable of growing ten times its normal size when it gets excited?
Contrary to the incorrect believe of some, it is not the penis. Considering the average size of a flaccid penis is 3-4 inches, that would mean that it would expand to 30-40 inches! The correct answer is: the pupils of your eyes. When you experience pleasure, your pupils briefly dilate. Anger and fear can cause the pupils to constrict.
