| | Pupil - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki |
 | | In humans and many animals (but few fish), the size of the pupil is controlled by involuntary contraction and dilation of the iris, in order to regulate the intensity of light entering the eye. |
 | | The reasons for the variation in shapes are complex; the shape is closely related to the optical characteristics of the lens, the shape and sensitivity of the retina, and the visual requirements of the species. |
 | | In strong light, the pupil constricts and is small, but still allows light to be cast over a large part of the retina. |
