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, the Daily Mail reported.

Nong Yousui from Guangxi's Dahua village has eyes which reflect neon green when a light is shined on them.

Nong, who enjoys playing outside with his schoolmates but struggles with bright sunlight, claims he can see perfectly clearly even in complete darkness.

In animals, night vision is made possible by the existence of a thin layer of cells, called the tapetum lucidum.

James Reynolds, a pediatric ophthalmologist at State University of New York in Buffalo, suggests Nong simply has extremely good eyesight rather than true night-vision.

男孩长猫眼可“夜视”

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，一位中国小男孩天生就拥有一双如同暹罗猫眼般亮亮的蓝眼睛，在黑暗中也能看见东西。

       农有穗家住广西大化村。用手电筒照的时候，他的眼睛就反射出氖绿色的光芒。

       农有穗很喜欢和同学们在室外玩耍，但阳光强烈的时候就不太舒服，在完全黑暗的环境里却能看得非常清楚。

       据悉，有些动物之所以能夜视，都是因为有了一层薄薄的反光膜。

       布法罗纽约州立大学小儿眼科医师詹姆斯·雷诺兹表示，农有穗拥有的不过是超好的视力，而非真正的夜视能力。
