The shorting of an eyeball, or pupil, is called a dialation. This happens when a pupil comes into contact with light. It becomes smaller to let less light in, make your vision clearer, and protect your eye. When a room gets darker, your pupils become larger. This is because there is less light, and to get a clearer picture your eyes need more light. This is a reason for UV protected sunglasses because if they arn't protected your pupils will get bigger and allow UV Rays to get in and harm your eyes.(Tid-bit Sorry) Anyway, the shortening of hrinking of an eyeball is a dialation.
