There are plenty of nerves and vessels in our brain, which is very complicated combination. In addition, the dilated eyes is related to nervous system. Once nervous system is sitmulated, it is easy to get pupil eyes. Some study on migraine said the dilated eyes is caused by postganglionic sympathetic nerve spasms during migraine.
