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.
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 is a structure at the front of the eye, consisting of a ring of muscle with an opening in the center, called a pupil. 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.
Yes, it can shrink, due to eye lids sagging a little bit with sleep deprivation.
You just have to look at the person's pupils; they'll be WIDE open and in general, exposure to bright light will not have any effect on the reflex of the iris to shrink.
