The eye's lens is behind the iris (unlike a camera which is typically the other way around), so the optics shouldn't affect the apparent pupil size.

- monitron 5y agoWhoa. I had no idea. Thanks for informing me! That's so weird. I had always assumed that the curved front surface of the eye was the lens.
- uj8efdkjfdshf 5y agoYou're not wrong - the cornea (front of the eye) has about 3x the refractive power of the lens. Both function as converging lenses, and the only difference is that the refractive power of the lens can be changed.
