Does your iris shrink if tired?

Yes, the iris can appear to shrink or constrict when a person is tired. This is primarily due to the pupillary response, where the pupils may become smaller (miosis) as a reaction to fatigue or low light conditions. However, this change is more about the size of the pupil rather than the iris itself physically shrinking. Overall, tiredness can influence the size of the pupil, affecting how the iris appears.

What happened to it when the light was flashed into eye?

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.

Is iris at the back of the eye?

The iris is not at the back of the eye. The structure at the back of the eye (on the inside) is called the retina. That's the part that senses light.

The iris can shrink the pupil, to admit less light, or expand the pupil to a larger size to admit more light. Eye color is deterimned by the iris. It is the only colorful muscle.

How does vision work?

When light rays pass through your pupil, the muscle called the iris (colored ring) makes the size of the pupil change depending on the amount of light that's available. You may have noticed this with your own eye if you have looked at it closely in a mirror. If there is too much light, your pupil will shrink to limit the number of light rays that enter. Likewise, if there is very little light available, the pupil will enlarge to let in as many light rays as it can. Just behind the pupil is the lens and it focuses the image through a jelly-like substance called the vitreous humor onto the back surface of the eyeball, called the retina.
