Heroin relaxes the muscles in your body. The iris is the muscle in your eye that controls the size of your pupil and how much light is let in. When you take heroin it relaxes this muscle making your pupil appear smaller. "uppers" like cocaine will do the opposite.

Why do teachers not allowed to have relationship with pupils?

Teachers are not allowed to have relationship with pupils because they are considered as the parent figures of pupils while at school.


How does the eye adapt to looking at a kite then down at your hand to let out string?

there is a great amount of electromagnetic radiation from the sun, thus your pupils will contract while you're looking at the sky (assuming it's daytime), and your cones will fire messages of light detection as well as a mixture of red, green, and blue to your brain for processing (vision and color). as you look down to your hand, there is much less light radiation, so your pupils will expand to allow more light to stimulate your retinas while your cones continue to fire messages.


What makes a human dazzled in the eye after being in a dark room and suddenly exposed to light?

The pupil of a human eye opens (gets large) and constricts (gets small) in response to the available light. When it is very bright, the pupil constricts to reduce the amount of light entering the eye. When it is dark, the pupil expands to capture as much light as possible. When you are waiting for your eyes "to get used to the light" of a darkened room, you are waiting for your pupils to open up. Back to your question! So there you are in the dark, your pupils open as wide as possible...and the lights come on! Way too much light floods your vision and your eyes, essentially, short-circuit (a flash of just white). You are momentarily dazzled while your brain's vision circuits (and your pupil sizes) reset.


Should you shout at a sleepwalker?

What is a dilated pupil?

There are many things that can dilate the pupil of the eye. First of all, light plays a huge factor. Also, if there are unknown, alien substances in your body, such as drugs, that is also a pupil dilator. Also, if you have recently suffered a concussion, your pupils might be dilated for a while. Pupils also dilate when focusing on different planes of vision, as well as different distances.

Why do people eyes dilate while they are talking to you?

The reason behind why your pupils dilate is because they need to receive more light from their surroundings when it is dark, enabling you to see better. They expand and take in more light, allowing you to see. They contract again when exposed to a lot of light. You can test this by having someone close their eyes and when they open you can have them look directly at a light and you can see their pupils shrink if you look closely.

Why do pupils constrict?

Pupils constrict when an object is brought closer to the eyes, to help them focus properly on it. Also pupils constrict when hit by light, the brighter the light, the bigger the constriction. If an equal amount of light shines into both eyes, the degree of constriction is generally equal. However, if the light is directed primarily into one eye (i.e., with a flashlight), the pupil of that eye greatly constricts (direct reflex) while the pupil of the other eye shows a much smaller degree of constriction (consensual reflex).
