Vulcan Vision ? Man sees in near Ultraviolet ! (After Cataract surgery) - cbelt3 - 10-03-2011

Very cool. Getting an expanded sense...
Of course, can he now see that the yuppies are all evil aliens ?

Very interesting!
My mother has had cataract surgery & from certain angles, her eyes glow like those of a cat. She said her doctor told her that might happen but that I was the only person to tell her about it.
I can't decide if it's cool or creepy. I guess the people she hangs out with are much too polite to let her know that her eyes glow.

Sounds like complete BS. Cataract surgery only replaces the lens with a plastic lens (which I have had done). It has nothing to do with the color receptor cells on the back of the eye that control which colors cause a signal to be sent to the brain.

Some cataract surgery does NOT replace the lens....

He mentioned that he believes he's one of a few mutations that can see near UV. Which makes sense. If some people are color deficient, why can't other people be color proficient ?
We're all made a little bit different. I remember my fencing master telling me that I had 'super speed' (fast hands). He really, really, really wanted me to try out for the Olympic team.

There's probably some diffraction happening in some people from the plastic lens or the surgery itself.
As to whether or not that guy has "Vulcan Vision" or if it was caused by the cataract surgery, I have no way of knowing.
Given the example Vulcan Man used, it should be easy to set up a few experiments to determine if he actually has V-V.
Then one can consider how it came to be.

How can that be? A cataract is an opaque lens. The only way to fix it is to replace it with something transparent.

Perhaps he can see UV, which could be easily proven or disproven (and for which there's no evidence on that website), but it would have to be because the eye doctor effed up the lens replacement, since cataract replacement lenses are supposed to contain UV filters that prevent UV-related damage to the eye.

Vulcan no, Borg yes...
