The pupils of your eyes become smaller due to light. When it is dark, the pupil opens wider to allow more light in so that it is easier for us to see. When it is bright, the pupil contracts in order to keep too much light from damaging the sensitive parts in the back of the eye.
It has also been noted that drugs, such as hallucinogens and opiates can cause a change in the size of the pupil, usually making them open wider despite the level of light.
