The redeye effect occurs when light enters pupils which are mostly dilated (open), and the light is mostly parallel to the line-of-sight between the camera and the subject. The redness is caused by blood in the back of the eyes.

Redeye occurs more often in cameras where the flash is very close to the lens, because then the angle between the flash and the subject, and the lens and the subject, is very small, allowing almost all of the light to reflect back as redeye.

If the light shining on the eyes comes from a different angle than the camera's line-of-sight, such as from a remote flash, then the redeye effect is reduced.

If the pupils are closed by a bright flash prior to the picture being taken, then the redeye effect is reduced. Some cameras can do this redeye reduction pre-flash.

Redeye effects can be reduced or nearly eliminated in digital cameras with post-processing software, either on the camera or off of the camera.

What visual mechanism might explain red eye?

Often, people who take pictures will notice that their photos come out with people having bright red eyes. This is caused by the flash of a camera actually seeing the light reflecting off a person's retina.

What happens to the circular and radial muscles i the eye when a bright light is shined?

When bright light is shined into the eye, the circular muscles of the iris contract while the radial muscles relax. This response, known as the pupillary light reflex, causes the pupil to constrict, reducing the amount of light that enters the eye. This mechanism helps protect the retina from excessive brightness and enhances visual acuity in well-lit conditions.

What part of the eye takes messages from the eye to the visual cortex?

The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the visual cortex in the brain. It carries signals in the form of electrical impulses that are generated by the retina in response to light stimulation.

Do ducks get red eye on photos?

Animals can exhibit the same characteristic retinal reflection that causes "red eye" in people photographs. I know of no animal that reflects red, but have seen many a dog, raccoon or cat photo where the eyes were blueish or green.


What part of the brain is connected to the left eye?

The left eye is primarily connected to the right hemisphere of the brain. Visual information from the left eye is processed by the right occipital lobe, which is responsible for interpreting visual stimuli. Additionally, the optic nerves from both eyes cross at the optic chiasm, allowing for visual information from each eye to be integrated for depth perception and a complete visual field.
