When your pupils contract when exposed to bright light is this a simple reflex?
Your pupils contract when exposed to bright light. This is an automatic response called a simple reflex. Is this true.
Why do your pupils constrict?
Pupils constrict in response to bright light to reduce the amount of light entering the eye and protect the sensitive retina from potential damage. Conversely, pupils dilate in dim lighting conditions to allow more light into the eye for improved vision in low-light environments.
Do you have to think about it when you want the size of your pupil to change?
No; the change in the size of your pupil is an involuntary action, meaning that it happens without you thinking about it. The size of your pupils adjust to stimuli, such as bright light. If a bright light was shined in your eyes, your pupils would get smaller in order to let as little light in as possible. Reversely, if you're in a dark room, your pupils will get bigger to let in as much light as possible.
Why are both eyes dialated with NO drugs?
The part of the eye that dilates is known as the pupil. It sometimes dilates when you look at someone that you are physically attracted to. This happens because of a chemical reaction in your brain. Pupils also dilate according to how much light is present to allow better vision. Pupils are dilated when there is little light available. You can test this out by looking in a mirror where there is a lot of light (your pupils should be very small because allowing too much light in damages the eyes). Then look into a mirror where there is less light and your pupils will have dilated. During a concussion, a person may also have dilated pupils. I'm not sure why, but probably as a result due to the force of impact sustained by the head.

Are pupils supposed to be big or small?
They vary in size depending on the amount of light that the eye is receiving. In bright sunny conditions, the pupil will be small as there is plenty of light impacting on the retina(back of the eye)/. In night time (dark) conditions, the pupil will be large, in order to receive as much light as possible.
Is the pupil a reflex or voluntary?

Why do your pupil go big in the light?
