Is there a word for...?

Question

I am just wondering if there is a proper word or scientific name for a person who has cat eyes? eg: sees better in the dark, pupil enlarges visibly.

Thank you in advance.

or rather, the name of the condition itself. Scratch about it being human. Think cats.

Answer 1

It is the tapetum lucidum (meaning "bright carpet"), an adaptation for night vision. The tapetum is a thick reflective membrane, 15 cells wide, directly beneath the retina. It collects and re-emits light back to the retina a second time, giving the rods a second chance to absorb the image information, thus maximizing the little light available to them. As this light is reflected off the tapetum, the animal's eyes appear to glow.
Pupils are usually circular; it's the most effective shape for allowing light into the eye. Indeed, nocturnal animals dilate their pupils to their circular maximum at night.
Perhaps the most noteworthy of all pupils is the stenopeic pupil of the gecko, a vertical slit lined with notches on each margin.
