Your post implies that it is receptors and blood that make the eye reflect red... and while the eye probably is much healthier with oxygen rich blood, the tapetum lucidum is actually what reflects light back (as in your photos). The reflection can be green, yellow, blue, etc... not just red. I only point this out because as an educator, it's important to make sure that we are providing the most accurate information available, especially on the internet. To a ten year old doing a research project or science fair, etc. this information would be extremely misleading. "All that fresh oxygenated blood is what makes eyes look red in a camera flash" is completely inaccurate.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394315940820117404noreply@blogger.com
