No, when your pupils get bigger (dilate), your irises do not get smaller. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil. When the pupil dilates, the muscles in the iris relax, allowing the pupil to expand, but the overall size of the iris remains the same.

What part of eye makes the pupil smaller in bright light and larger in dim light?

What layer dialates the pupil?

The layer that dilates the pupil is the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. Within the iris, the dilator pupillae muscle is responsible for widening the pupil in response to low light conditions or during the fight-or-flight response. This process is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.


Smooth muscle that controls light intensity?

The smooth muscle in the iris of the eye controls the size of the pupil, which regulates the amount of light entering the eye. When this muscle contracts, the pupil constricts, reducing the amount of light that enters the eye, and when it relaxes, the pupil dilates to allow more light in.


How does the iris control how much 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)
