No human being can see in the dark without the presence of light. However, there have been reports that there are a few individuals who are capable of doing this. It may sound absurd to some but they really exist. No, they are not super heroes. Although they seem to possess the ability of the famous super heroes whom we watch on the television or movies or read on the comic books.
Nong Youhui, the blue-eyed Chinese kid from Dahua, southern China is reported to possess an ability to see in the dark. Several tests were given to him to prove his ability to see in the dark. According Mail Online, the child was given a set of questionnaires which he was able to answer in pitch black. Eye Specialists were also consulted about Nong's night vision but they have no definite findings about it except that the child possess a perfectly good eyesight. But Nong Youhui is not alone with this kind of gift. In Baringo, Kenya, siblings Dennis and Winny Litei, who are 12 and 8 respectively, also possess the ability to see in the night without any artificial lighting. But just like the rest of the super heroes except for Batman and Robin from DC and Iron man, Hawkeye and Black Widow from Marvel, they also have a weakness. Their eyes are extremely sensitive in broad daylight which makes them squint and blink a lot.
When I was a kid, I wanted to become a superhero just like the rest of the other kids I knew. I wanted to have the ability to fly and see through walls just like my favorite superhero, Superman. Thankfully, I outgrew it became contented for being human who has no problems seeing in broad daylight. I may not possess a night vision just like these three great kids but what are the outdoor wall lights and other artificial lighting for?
