Does a Chinese Boy Really HaveCat Eyes That See in the Dark? A young Chinese boy who was born with brilliant blue eyes - like those of a Siamese cat - claims to have the ability to see in pitch darkness. Nong Yousui from Dahua has eyes which, it is claimed, reflect neon green when when a light is shined on them. Nong who enjoys playing outside with his schoolmates but struggles with in bright sunlight, claims he can see perfectly clearly even in complete darkness. His father said: Two weeks after he was born I was told his eyes were different. We took him to hospital and doctors told me not to worry as his eyes would be fine when he grew up. To test his abilities, a Chinese journalist recently prepared a set of questionnaires which he was able to finish in a pitch black room. Video footage of the youngster, whose current age has not been revealed, first emerged in 2009, but has only recently been picked up online. However many experts remain highly sceptical. In animals, night vision is made possible by the existence of a thin layer of cells, called the tapetum lucidum.
