The pupils of your eyes become smaller due to light. When it is dark, the pupil opens wider to allow more light in so that it is easier for us to see. When it is bright, the pupil contracts in order to keep too much light from damaging the sensitive parts in the back of the eye.
It has also been noted that drugs, such as hallucinogens and opiates can cause a change in the size of the pupil, usually making them open wider despite the level of light.
No -- rather the opposite. Most opiates, opioid and similar drugs constrict the pupil.
it dilates because the pupil wants to maximize the amount of light that enters because it's dark behind the eyelid.
Miotic agents cause the pupil of the eye to constrict, or become smaller. Mydriasis is the opposite, making the pupil dilate like when you go to the eye doctor.
Light Pupil Dilate was created in 2001.

Yes, fear can cause pupils to constrict. When the body experiences fear, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to the release of adrenaline. Adrenaline causes the pupils to constrict, allowing the individual to focus on a threat and react quickly.
Capillaries
The iris has an opening, called the pupil, through which light enters the eye.
No, Xanax is an anti-depressant drug and most of those drugs will not effect the pupil size. However, it will induce horizontal gaze nystagmus (involuntary jerking of the eyes as they look from side to side).
The difference is important in mechanics. Dilation refers to a uniform enlargement or stretch whereas dilatation refers to general enlargement RMB Ex. A human pupil dilates and a cat pupil dilatates
The pupil is the part of the eye that regulates the amount of light that enters. It can dilate to let in more light in dim conditions and constrict to reduce the amount of light in bright conditions. This is controlled by the iris, a circular muscle that surrounds the pupil.
Pupils don't dilate from light, the constrict. They dilate in the dark, to take in more light, and constrict in the light so your eyes don't get damaged. Hallucinogenics, stimulants and alcohol and make your pupils dilate and opiates and diazepam can make them constrict. Im not sure what that's called though..
