Medics are stunned by the Chinese boy with blue eyes and cat-like vision.

Nong Youhui was born with bright, blue eyes and it concerned his father, Nong Shihua, who took Nong to a hospital in Dahua to have his son’s eyes checked by physicians.

Ling stated, “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.”

As it turns out, Nong’s eyes would emit a blue-green light in the dark when shone upon by a flashlight, “just like cat’s eyes”.

In school, Nong Youhui’s teacher noticed an oddity.  When the children were playing outside in the sun, Nong Youhui would squint moreso than other children and he would complain about having blurry vision when all of the other children would see normally.

One of Nong’s best friends told him that he was able to catch crickets at night without the use of a flashlight.

Bi Donglei, a journalist from Heng County, heard of this story and tested Nong’s night vision by showing him cards and then quizzed Nong on his ability to see in the dark.  Nong got all of the cards correct by immediately giving the correct answers in near pitch darkness.  His ability to see in the dark is the same as yours or mine in the daylight!
