The size of your pupils adjusts depending on the amount of light being received. When there is good lighting, the pupils are smaller, allowing less light. If that light source is suddenly removed, your eyes are not receiving enough light to form an image. In response, your pupils dialate and get larger, allowing in more light and allowing you to see better in the dark.
