What does the iris of the human eye do when the light is bright?

The Iris controls the size of the pupil to control the brightness of the light that's allowed to enter the eye. This is a protective measure when the light is too bright and it also opens the iris in low light situations to allow the eye to see more. Well, the iris changes the size of the pupil so when you are in bright light your pupil will get smaller because the eye will absorb all light striking it. However, when you are in a dark room or place your pupil will get bigger/wider because it has no light to absorb it so your eye wants light. For example think of the pupil trying to look for light so it has to get wider!


What are your eyeballs made out of?

I think it's actually more like a hole. "The pupil is the sphere that is located in the center of the iris of the eye and that controls the amount of light that enters the eye.[1] It appears black because most of the light entering the pupil is absorbed by the tissues inside the eye. In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop. The image of the pupil as seen from outside the eye is the entrance pupil, which does not exactly correspond to the location and size of the physical pupil because it is magnified by the cornea. On the inner edge lies a prominent structure, the collarette, marking the junction of the embryonic pupillary membrane covering the embryonic pupil." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil
