Pupil Reflex
A reflex action in which the pupil changes size as a result of changes in light intensity.

Pupil Reflex
In bright light

In bright light• Circular muscles in iris contract.• Radial muscles relax.• Pupil becomes smaller, hence less light enters the eye

Pupil Reflex Focusing
In bright light• Circular muscles in iris contract.• Radial muscles relax.• Pupil becomes smaller, hence less light enters the eye
The adjustment of the lens of the eye so that clear images of objects at different distances are formed on the retina.
In dim light• Radial muscles in iris contract .• Circular muscles in iris relax.• Pupil enlarges, hence more light enters the eye
