A young Chinese boy who was born with beaming blue eyes has
stunned medics with his ability to see in pitch black darkness.
Nong Yousui from Dahua, China has eyes that reflect neon
green when light is shined on them. Doctors have studied Nong’s amazing
eyesight since his dad took him to hospital concerned over his bright blue
eyes.
“They told me he would grow out of it and that his eyes
would stop glowing and turn black like most Chinese people but they never did”,
his Dad said.
Nong enjoys playing outside with his schoolmates but
experiences discomfort when in bright sunlight, however can see completely
clearly in pure darkness.
To test his abilities, a Chinese journalist prepared a set
of questionnaires which he was able to finish while sitting in a pitch black
room. The tests show Nong can read and write perfectly without any light and
can see as clearly as most people do during the day.
According to the World Record Academy (the leading
international organization which certify world records), Nong has even set the
world record for the first human who can see in the dark.
In animals, night vision is made possible by the existence
of a thin layer of cells, called the tapetum lucidum. And like a Siamese cat,
Nong’s sky-blue eyes flash neon green when illuminated by a flashlight.
Nong’s night vision has sparked interest around the world by
vision scientists, evolutionary biologists, and genetic engineers. And this is
good news for science as we may eventually be able to use genetic technologies
to deliberately create such a condition ourselves.
A new and growing generation of extraordinary and gifted
children are springing up across our planet.
