are you asking about the night time glow in the eyes? well I'm using a cat as an example. they have this structure positioned at the back of the retina called the tapetum lucidum. it works like a mirror, it reflects the light coming into the eye, back out to light sensor cells in the retina, this is what causes the glow.
