The iris of my eyes is not white or flourescent so I want to know why they glow.. I was the only one who's eyes were glowing in a room with about 50 people in it. I'm not a vampire either. No I wasn't wearing contacts or anything of the sort.

Have you ever seen photographs of people with red eyes?
Red eyes occur if the pupils (irises) of a person are dilated and light is shone into them. This is because the light is reflected off the retina. This happens typically in a dark room (Where the pupils would be dilated) and a camera flash goes off before they return to their normal size.
In fact most cameras nowadays have a red eye reduction feature. Generally, the flash goes off not once but twice or thrice. The first few flashes cause the pupils to return to contract and the photograph is taken with the last flash.
So, you have nothing to worry about vampires. Maybe your pupils dilate more than the pupils of other people. It may be that you have a better night vision than others.

You could have an unusual eye or lens shape, or you may be developing cataracts, or could have an astrocytoma, a tumour at the back of your eye although it is unusual to see it in both eyes. There are some diseases which make your eyes more reflective (Wilson Disease shows a copper deposition inthe iris).
Or you could just be a freak.
In any case, a quick trip to the optician for an eye examination would rule any of these out.

Since yours were the only one "glowing", I'd be somewhat worried. Is it both eyes, one more than the other, or just one? The light is bouncing off your retinas to cause the reflection; however, I don't know why ultraviolet light could cause it. I'd see an optometrist or ophthalmologist about it; there are some diseases which vary in severity from benign to extremely malignant (retinoblastoma, for one); don't put it off. It would be better to pay for a professional opinion, than it would be to take the chance that it might cost you your sight.

The exciting question right that's no longer why do your eyes glow yet the place replaced into this social gathering? i choose for to get carry of a few of this black easy and use it to humanity's benefit. in simple terms think of if we ought to improve relatively large black lights furniture we ought to positioned them in orbit and shine them down on earth to counteract the white easy positioned out via the sunlight - could be a actual boon in warm countries the place you and that i could ought to squint a lot! And shift workers ought to activate their black lights furniture in the time of the day to maintain the mattress room darkish and help them sleep. in simple terms uncertain bearing directly to the physics of it nevertheless - how a lot potential does a 'black' photon have? LOL
