The first human who can see in the dark: People also know him as a cat eye boy

Nong Youhui is a young Chinese kid, who was born with glowing and bright blue eyes. The special thing about Nong is that he can see clearly anything in the dark, just like a cat, which earned him his nickname "Cat eyes". And as a result, he was able to set the world record for the first human who can see in the dark, by the World record academy.



Nong's father always knows that his eyes were different, from the moment when he first saw his child's sparkling blue eyes but nong becomes popular among the locals when they discover that nong has night-vision. His family also claims that his eyes glow in the dark like a cat. When nong was just 7 some expert went to visit him at his school. They conduct many experiments on nong to know how far his night-vision story is true. Surprisingly, he passed all the tests and the story got the attention of international media. According to experts, this is the result of mutation.




Humans have poor night vision compared to many animals, in part because the human eye lacks a tapetum lucidum. Scientist explains how mutation leads to unusual glowy eyes phenomena. Eye color plays important role in vision. Moreover, people admire the beauty of his eyes so much that some individuals consider it as a god's blessing.
