Can people with blue eyes see better in the dark?

Answer 1

I dont think it has anything to do with color as opposed to the concentration of rods in the human eye:

The rods are more numerous of the photoreceptors, some 120 million, and are the more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. They are responsible for our dark-adapted, or scotopic, vision. The rods are incredibly efficient photoreceptors. More than one thousand times as sensitive as the cones, they can reportedly be triggered by individual photons under optimal conditions. The optimum dark-adapted vision is obtained only after a considerable period of darkness, say 30 minutes or longer, because the rod adaption process is much slower than that of the cones.

The rod sensitivity is shifted toward shorter wavelengths compared to daylight vision, accounting for the growing apparent brightness of green leaves in twilight.

While the visual acuity or visual resolution is much better with the cones, the rods are better motion sensors. Since the rods predominate in the peripheral vision, that peripheral vision is more light sensitive, enabling you to see dimmer objects in your peripheral vision. If you see a dim star in your peripheral vision, it may disappear when you look at it directly since you are then moving the image onto the cone-rich fovea region which is less light sensitive. You can detect motion better with your peripheral vision, since it is primarily rod vision.

Answer 2

The thing about dark hair and blue/green eyes, is that the contrast makes it really pop. I'd have to see a pic to be sure, but I'd say stick with the blue eyes and own them!

Answer 3

Actually that'd be Ablino's. They can see better in the dark and the oppsit when in the light.
It has been proven that people with blue colored eyes have worse vision than brown, hazel, amber or green. Blue eyes are more prone to getting colour-blind and just generally have weaker vision.

Answer 4

I hope not. I have blue eyes and I can't see in the dark at all.

Answer 5

My eyes are blue and I have terrible night vision.

Answer 6

Uh, no. Color has nothing to do with it. The Pupil widens in the dark to see better.

Answer 7

Nope. I'm nearsighted as it is. I'm more liable to trip over myself than "see" in the dark. :0)

Answer 8

Nope all eyes see the same thing unless your color blind

Answer 9

nope! Our eyes just dilate more.

Answer 10

yes, get your hand out of your pants
no of course not so silly
