But it makes for great night vision

[burntcopper]

in fiction, it's very common to describe someone's eyes 'going dark' during arousal/stimulation/blood loss/loopiness/drugs/etc, because of how most people's pupils expand in these situations.

So, as an owner of permanently wide pupils (no, really - in utterly bright light, my pupils shrink to normal people's 'wide'. Normally, it's thin ring of iris colour around bloody great pupils.) does this mean i look permanently stimulated or about to head off the deep end?

Er...the first.

(Even though the deep end isn't necessarily a bad place and there are many fine people residing on its borders.)

Thinking about it, social surroundings possibly skew the judgement somewhat; it's harder to establish a normal baseline when you only ever see someone in 'yay party!' mode. IYSWIM.
