Its supposed to mean that your pupils become wide and make your eye almost black; it's based on (real anthropological) studies that show that when we look at someone we find attractive, our pupils dilate. So it's sort of textual shorthand to get across one character's attraction to another.
It'd be fine if it was just something that cropped up now and then, but it's FUCKING EVERYWHERE. Every fandom I'm in, from Marvel to Les Miz, blown pupils are popping everywhere.
