Which part of the eye changes size to let in the correct amount of light?
The iris opens and closes its aperture or "hole" to let in the correct amount of light. Mechanical irises were used for a long, long time in pre-digital film camers.
What part of the eye allows light to enter?
The pupil is the part of the eye through which light passes.
Name a muscle that closes the eye?
Orbicularis oculi muscle
Why does the pupil get smaller when a bright light is shone in the eye?
Our pupils adjust to absorb enough light to see, but not so much that it damages our eyes. So when a bright light is shined in the eye, the pupil closes so that the eye isn't damaged. That's why doctors make you wear sunglasses after they dilate your eyes.
When a light ray strikes the eye what part of the eye does it first pass through?

It is the eye's pupil, which is the hole that lets in light, and is in the centre of the iris.
What nevre opens the eye?
Cranial nerve III (CN3) is responsible for keeping the eye open. Cranial nerve VII (CN7) closes the eyelid.
What Is the part of the eye that contracts and dilates to adjust the amount of light entering the pupil.?
IrisThe colored part of the eye which helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye. When there is bright light, the iris closes the pupil to let in less light. And when there is low light, the iris opens up the pupil to let in more lightLensFocuses light rays onto the retina. The lens is transparent, and can be replaced if necessary. Our lens deteriorates as we age, resulting in the need for reading glasses. Intraocular lenses are used to replace lenses clouded by cataracts.CorneaThe clear front window of the eye which transmits and focuses (i.e., sharpness or clarity) light into the eye. Corrective laser surgery reshapes the cornea, changing the focus.
What opens in reaction to light and gives colour to the eye?
The Iris

What part of your eye needs light to function efficiently?
The part of the eye that reacts to light is the retina.
Does the human eye have a concave lens?
Yes. The front of the clear area of the eye is called the 'Cornea', this acts as a lens and bends the light coming into the eye. Behind the cornea is a fluid filled space and then comes the dark 'pupil' of the eye surrounded by a muscle called the 'Iris' (the iris gives you your eye colouring). The iris opens when the light is low and closes when the light is bright to control the amount of light that gets into your eye (so you are not dazzled). The 'pupil' of the eye is in fact another lens surrounded by another mussel. This mussel makes the lens thicker when you want to focus on something near to you and relaxes as you look in the distance.
What part of the eye functions to bend light rays?
The Lens is the part of the eye that bends light rays .
What part of the eye allows light to enter?
The pupil is the part of the eye through which light passes.
