That it has something to do with the refraction of the lens (cornea) when meets the iris at the edge of the pupil. That's why, no matter the angle at which you look at the eye, the black portion always seems to be in the same "place" in relation to your gaze.

I suspect it woks much like a stick, when placed into water, looks like it is broken in two. The light is refracted, and there is a "blank" space we cannot compute very easily.

Just a thought anyway...
