Do we have a wider field of view when our pupils dilate in the dark?

In the dark our pupils get wider, which I would imagine means there is a larger angle of light that we can see, and the opposite for our pupils shrinking in brightness. Is this actually how it works?

Your field of view is determined by a patch of light-sensitive receptors that activate neurons on the back of your eye. Additionally, the stereo image collection of two eyes. 

While more light is collected, the opening of your pupil does not significantly affect your maximum field of view. 

Think about it like this, if you if you take the glare guard off a camera lens, more light comes in, but It doesn’t change field of view because it is already collecting the maximum possible angle. 

Only a very tiny pinhole is required to obtain a very wide angle at distance.

A larger field of view would come from, say, placing our eyes further apart (fish).
