Does our eyes have any other ways of controlling the intake/absorption of light besides the aperture of the pupils?

In addition: does the change in the pupil size affect the way we perceive depth of field?

We do squint which is a natural reaction to bright light. The vision cells also work differently in bright light then in dim light. And of course our brain does normalize the sensory input from our eyes so we do not perceive brightness. But other then that there is no control of light intake into the eyes.

The size of the pupils does technically change the depth of field. However eyes are very fast at focusing and have a tiny angle of view so we do not even notice our depth of field. And any lack of both depth of field and view angle is compensated for by the brain and its memory. So the aperture of the pupils does not really matter that much.
