Light enters the eye through the pupil, the black area in the center of the iris. It appears black because light is absorbed into the tissues of the eye at that point. The pupil is like a hole in the eye, though it appears larger than it actually is since it's covered by the cornea, which magnifies it. Light enters the pupil and is directed towards the retina from there.
