The video tutorial explains how the human eye adapts to changes in light intensity, a process known as adaptation. It covers two types of adaptation: dark adaptation, where the eye adjusts to low light conditions by dilating the pupils, and light adaptation, where the eye adjusts to bright conditions by constricting the pupils. The tutorial provides insights into the physiological changes that occur in the eye during these processes.
