The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment. The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.
In humans, the pupil is circular, but its shape varies between species; some cats, reptiles, and foxes have vertical slit pupils, goats and sheep have horizontally oriented pupils, and some catfish have annular types. [3] In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop.
Humans, other primates, and dogs have round (spherical) pupils, which are useful for general all-round vision. Cats, snakes, crocodiles, and alligators have vertical slits which are useful for ...
A camera lens adjusted for large and small aperture. The visible opening is the entrance pupil of the lens. The apparent location of the anatomical pupil of a human eye (black circle) is the eye's entrance pupil location. The outside world appears to be seen from the point at the center of the entrance pupil.
FOV both eyes Vertical FOV Angle of view can be measured horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The field of view (FOV) is the angular extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment. In the case of optical instruments or sensors, it is a solid angle through which a detector is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
The effect of spherical aberration (a fourth-order aberration) increases as the fourth power of the pupil diameter. Doubling pupil diameter increases the spherical aberration component by a factor of 16. [7] Thus, a small change in pupil size can cause a significant change in spherical aberration.

Researchers examined the effect of head and eye movement on changing gaze direction in humans and other great apes. A human experimenter, observed by either a human infant, a gorilla, a bonobo, or a chimpanzee, did one of four actions: Tilted his head up while closing his eyes; Looked at the ceiling with his eyes while keeping his head stationary
