Though experts on the subject beg to differ in their opinions, yet some emphatically say that when a person lies, the hole in the middle of the iris of the eye becomes bigger. Generally, it is said that we can judge people by watching their pupils. In case their pupils dilate or if they look up and to the left when answering/telling a story, they are lying.
