Is an eye luminous?
No. Eyes are not luminous. They observe or perceive light but they do not emit light. Luminous means "emit light." There are various species of animals, such as deer, cats, and dogs, whose eyes have the ability to reflect light which sometimes make them appear to glow in the dark as they reflect a flashlight, headlight, or other light that is shining in their direction. But even then, the eyes do not produce their own light so they are not luminous.

How do animals eyes glow in the dark?
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.
