Answer:

In dim light, your pupil expands to allow more light to enter your eye. In bright light, it contracts. Your pupil can range in diameter from 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) to more than 1/3 inch (8 mm). Light detected by the retina of your eye is converted to nerve impulses that travel down the optic nerve.
