Yes. Many frogs are nocturnal so have good night vision. They have a mirror layer in the back of the eye (called tapetum lucidium) that lets them reflect light at night,known as 'eye-shine'. This gives them a kind or search light for hunting by.

Deferent species have different sensitivity to light depending on their habits and habitats. This can be determined by the numbers of 'rods' and 'cones' on the frogs retina (back of the eye). Rods are sensitive to light and cones detect colour.
