Do you mean when the pupils expand?

I believe the pupil expands to allow more light in typically, though other things can cause it like drugs, medical conditions, and attraction.

Though I'm no expert, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me, so we'll both find out!

The classic gazing void trap. It's just cosmic horror beyond human comprehension.

It means they're wizards from the Dresden Files. Be careful with the soul gaze

This is why I don't meet anyone's eyes for long. I don't want to suck anyone into an eternal abyss.
