Yes it does. Your iris determines how much light goes through the eye, and the darker it is, the less light can go through. This affects mostly your peripheral vision, because it helps the rods to work better in "dimmer" light. Does that help?

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.

What eye color is most sensitive to sunlight?

Dilation of the pupil occurs when not enough light is exposed in the area. If plentiful light was to be exposed without warning, the reaction of the person would be determined by how used they are to light or how their DNA codes for it. This determines how sensitive to light they are by default. Eye color should not play a role in how a person reacts to light. Hope this helped
