You must remember that the irises in your eyes are dialating as the sun is being eclipsed. If that was not happening, you would undoubtedly notice the change in visible light like you do the heat.

The dilation of your pupils is actually only responsible for a small portion of your eyes' ability to adjust to ambient brightness. The rest is your rods and cones adjusting their sensitivity biochemically.
