Solution

The iris is responsible for regulating the amount of light entering the eye. It does this by adjusting the size of the pupil. The iris does not refract light onto the retina, apply tension to the lens, or contain the pigment epithelial cells that nourish photoreceptors. Those functions are performed by other parts of the eye.
