I am trained as a ophthalmic technologist ( human ) I do know that blue eyes are subject to more light sensitivity than brown or green. Add contact lenses to that and it doubles your need for sunglasses. I know that it may not correlate to horses but it would make sense that blue eyed horses are more sensitive to light. From my experience a blue eye is a blue eye weather it be equine or human. Roberta Roberta, I am glad you brought this up. I have light blue eyes and I will tell you first hand, I can't deal with Sun light as well as people with brown eyes. I have to wear some sort of hat or sun glasses as it can get painful. I have seen Walleye/Blue eye horses with the same problem. Granted not scientific, but I think it can be the same in any animal. Shari
