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

Question

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

In: Biology

Answer 1

The cells that absorb light get washed out and less sensitive with bright lights, and slowly more sensitive while in the dark. This is why your eyes hurt for a minute when walking outside on a bright day.
