The function of the colored iris opens and closes to allow more or less light through a hole called the pupil. The lens then focus the light.

There is no correlation between eye color and vision in the dark. This is primarily because it is the duty of the photoreceptors in the retina which project information into the brain. The photoreceptors responsible for light/dark vision are called rods and are mostly found on the periphery of the retina. Cones process color and are mostly found in the center of the retina called the fovea.

To sum up - color has nothing to do with being able to see in the dark. Vision is dependent upon light and a complex set of structures in the eye and brain that work together to create your visual world.

Color variation in the eye is purely genetic and holds not specific purpose for light/dark vision.

Does eye color effect eye vision?

Light-eyed people are more sensitive to light, because they have few pigments to protect their eyes from sunlight exposure. So, such people can encounter sun-related problemsSo the lighter your eye color, the more you are to have light sensitivity in the sun as apposed to darker eye colors which they have better adjustment and not as sensitive to the light! A person with blue eyes is more alike to have eye problems than a brown eye person. It is well known that people with lighter eyes tend to be more sensitive to light, a result of having less pigment in the iris to protect them from sunlight. That can place them at a greater risk of macular degeneration and the other eye-related problems, but whether that extends to vision is not clear. There is little or no evidence that darker eye color means greater visual acuity, but one theory holds that it does produce better reaction times. People with dark eyes will have stronger peripheral vision. People with dark eyes tend to have bigger pupils, which let in more sunlight. Since they have bigger pupils, they have a wider range of peripheral.
