The iris contracts (gets smaller). If this doesnt happen, its a good indication of head trauma/concussion, etc.
the name of the hole that allows light to go through into your eye is: pupil
The iris controls the amount of light entering the eyes through pupil. When the surrounding is extremely bright, the iris contracts the size of pupil. This decreases the amount of light entering the eye. This is why when we are suddenly exposed to bright light, the eyes blink and in meanwhile, the iris contracts.
The cornea and the pupil are the parts of the eye that allow light to enter. The cornea acts as a protective outer layer that helps to focus light, while the pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
The iris has an opening, called the pupil, through which light enters the eye.
The iris is the coloured membrane in the eye that controls the amount of light entering the eye by expanding and contracting. The pupil is a hole in the centre of the iris. By expanding, more light will enter the pupil and by contracting less light will enter the pupil.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)
When exposed to a bright light, the pupil of the human eye will contract. This action allows less light to come in contact with the lens.
When a light is not shined into an eye the pupil contracts gets bigger because the eye needs all the light being presented to it. If the light is not taken away the pupil does not dilate. PS like the eye gets smaller in the light.
An Argyll Robertson pupil is a bilateral small pupil of the eye which reduces in size when the patient focuses on a near object but does not constrict when exposed to bright light - a sign of neurosyphilis.
The pupil contracts in response to bright light to limit the amount of light entering the eye. It dilates in low light conditions to allow more light to enter the eye for improved vision. This process is controlled by the iris muscle.
When the eye detects bright light, the iris expands causing the hole at its centre (the pupil) to shrink in size. The brighter the light the smaller the pupil becomes. This happens because, in a dark place, the eye needs to take in as much light as possible to see better so the pupil expands; in a light place, the eye could be damaged due to over exposure to light so the pupil shrinks. The scientific word for "shrinks" is "contracts"
The opening at the front of the eye through which light passes is called the pupil. The pupil changes size to regulate the amount of light entering the eye by contracting in bright light and dilating in dim light.
the name of the hole that allows light to go through into your eye is: pupil
The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris (the colored part of the eye) that allows light to enter the eye. By dilating or constricting, the pupil controls the amount of light reaching the retina at the back of the eye.
The pupil of the eye can be likened to a camera aperture. Just as an aperture controls the amount of light entering a camera, the pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
The iris controls the amount of light entering the eyes through pupil. When the surrounding is extremely bright, the iris contracts the size of pupil. This decreases the amount of light entering the eye. This is why when we are suddenly exposed to bright light, the eyes blink and in meanwhile, the iris contracts.
There is one pupil in each eye. The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye. Its size can change depending on the lighting conditions to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
The cornea and the pupil are the parts of the eye that allow light to enter. The cornea acts as a protective outer layer that helps to focus light, while the pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
