In humans and other Primates , darkly colored Melanin Pigment in the choroid helps limit reflections within the eye that would potentially result in the perception of confusing images. Poor vision frequently results from lack of this pigmentation in human Albino s. By contrast, the choroid of many other animals contains reflective materials that help to collect light in dim situations; this is one type of Tapetum Lucidum . The red eye effect on photos is caused by the reflection of light from '''choroid'''. It appears red because of the choroid's blood vessels.
