Method 1 of 3: Quick techniques to dilate your pupils

1. Imagine a dark room. Research has shown that people can dilate their pupils by imagining dark shapes or dark rooms. Think of big black bears attacking your tent at night, your pupils will probably widen thin.
2. Focus on distant objects. Your pupils widen as your eyes adjust to see in the distance. Another way to go about this is to blur your vision as suddenly as possible. If you do this correctly, your eyes will be very relaxed; if you start seeing double you probably squint and have to start over.
   • These techniques don't let you watch your own eyes, so you should film yourself or ask a friend to watch.
3. Focus on a dark area of ​​the room. Pupils enlarge to allow in more light. So if you can't reduce the light, you can choose to look at a darker area of ​​the room, away from windows or other light sources.
4. Tighten your abs. Tuck in your stomach and keep all muscles tense to see if that makes your pupils bigger. Some people can enlarge their pupils that way, although the underlying mechanism has not been found. It could be related to the "butterflies in your stomach" you feel when you are in love.
5. Imagine something that will give you an adrenaline rush. Some people get dilated pupils when they get the adrenaline rushing through their blood by thinking about exciting activities, such as sex. In addition to large pupils, it can also make your brain race, tighten your muscles and speed up breathing.

Method 2 of 3: Powerful pupillary dilation techniques

1. Use anti-allergy eye drops. Some eye drops will make your pupils larger. Always read the package insert and do not use more than prescribed.
2. Drink espresso. Certain substances that act on your nervous system can cause the muscles around your iris to enlarge your pupil. Caffeine is an example of such a substance.
3. Take dietary supplements containing 5-HTP. 5-HTP is an amino acid that can help you feel better. Never take more than the recommended amount and never take 5-HTP in combination with LSD, cocaine, anti-depressants, high doses of B vitamins and other substances that increase your serotonin level.
4. Do not use other remedies unless prescribed by your doctor. Some eye drops can dilate your pupils, but be aware of side effects.
   • Some drugs dilate the pupils. But beware: Most recreational drugs that can dilate or shrink your pupils are illegal and unhealthy. So rather stay away from that.

Method 3 of 3: Constrict your pupils

1. Increase the light in your eyes. Open the curtains or turn on the light. As a result, your pupils will immediately shrink. If you are outside, prefer the sun to the shade.
   • Incandescent bulbs work well, but natural light works better.
   • Never look directly into the sun, as this can damage your eyes.
2. Focus on someone or something close to you. Your pupils shrink when you shift your focus to something close. Start by closing one eye and putting your finger on the open eye.
3. Consider medication. There are drugs that constrict your pupils, but they are only sold with a prescription.
   • Opiates constrict pupils, but their use is illegal. Note: Most recreational drugs that can dilate or shrink your pupils are illegal and unhealthy. So rather stay away from that.

Tips

• Edit your photos. If you post photos of yourself on a website, such as on a dating site, edit them so that your pupils are bigger. Research has shown that when men see two photos of the same woman, where she has larger pupils in one (edited) photo than the other, they think the woman in the edited photo is "nicer" and "more beautiful".
• These tricks are especially effective if you have light eyes, because then the contrast between your iris and pupil is greater, making it more noticeable. You can also see the pupil well with light brown eyes.

Warnings

• The constriction and dilation of pupils can make the eyes feel tired. Stop for a day or two if this starts to bother you.
• Your pupil shrinks in bright light to avoid over-stimulating your nerves. Never dilate your pupils on a sunny day; if someone takes a photo of you with flash or turns on bright lights, you can damage your eyes.
