Default Pupil Dilation (was: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!)

Happy New Year to all from Denis, who is now tired and emotional, having consumed an excess of Newcastle Brown ale, in an
attempt to achieve a world record in pupil dilation %-)


My pupils are huge. Notoriously so. My sister also has somewhat large pupils,
but I think not quite as big as mine. I always get the worst red-eye in flash
photos.

So does this mean my retinae are comparatively insensitive? I don't think so,
but I wonder whether there's a reason for such excessive dilation in lowish-
light environments.

Anyway I rather like that I have big pupils, because people with very small
ones, especially those with very pale blue irises, really scare the bejeesus
out of me!
