No- perception of colour is controlled by the number and type of cells contained in the retina, not by the iris, which controls only the AMOUNT of light that enters the eye. Retinal cells are made up of 2 sorts, known commonly as 'rods' and 'cones' because of their shapes. Rods pick up black & white light, whilst cones detect colours- there are far fewer cones than rods in the retina. Differences in colour perception are caused by fewer numbers of cones, or by defects in their structure.

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.

How do the visual capabilities of cats and dogs differ, particularly in terms of their vision?
