When a light is shined into an eye the pupil contracts gets smaller because the eye doesn't need all the light being presented to it. If the light is taken away the pupil dilaâ¦tes. PS like the eye gets bigger in the dark. 5 people found this useful.
A greater intensity of light causes the pupil to constrict (miosis/myosis) (allowing less light in), whereas a lower intensity of light causes the pupil to dilate (mydriasis, expansion) (allowing more light in). Thus, the pupillary light reflex regulates the intensity of light entering the eye. The pupillary light reflex pathway has an afferent limb (CN II) and efferent limb (CN III). The ganglion cells of the retina project bilaterally to the pretectal nuclei.
