What Causes Red Eye Effect In Photographs? - Science ABC

The red eye effect is caused by a large burst of light reaching the retina and reflecting back off the red blood vessels in the choroid layer of the eye. This effect is more prominent in people with low levels of melanin in their eyes, as their eyes do not absorb as much light. To avoid the red eye effect, try to take pictures in well-lit rooms or with the flash turned off, and use red eye reduction features if available.

Very rarely do you snap a picture that is truly “perfect”, where your hair is nicely combed, you’re wearing your best suit, and you’re looking particularly dapper. A picture like that is almost too good to be true. It is, in fact, too good to be true, because you look like Arnold Schwarzenegger from the Terminator movies… you have red eyes in the photograph!

Why does this happen? You take a group photo with your friends at a party, and all of them look like they are having a good time, except for you, because you appear to be a terrifying red-eyed zombie.
