I live in Tokyo for 3 weeks now. Japanese people working with me or visiting me noticed that my lights are too dimmed (and they are not). Than I looked arround a little closer and saw that every japanese apartment or every office, and all lights around me are always blasing strong. Also, we know that the entire Asia has always very bright street lights and panels...
Why is that?
Can it have anything to do with Japanese/Asian genetic setting? Namely, we know that their ancestors came down from far north, and there the lights (with snow and reflections) are much stronger, so it can be that the eyes evolved towards being slightly less light sensitive.
Can somebody elaborate on this, or recommend an internet source?
