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.

In bright light the iris of an eye will dilate the pupil.?
Actually, in bright light, the iris contracts to constrict the pupil, reducing its size. This reflex, known as the pupillary light reflex, helps protect the retina from excessive light exposure and improves visual acuity by limiting the amount of light entering the eye. Conversely, in dim light, the iris will dilate the pupil to allow more light in for better visibility.
What is the difference between dilate and constrict?
