China's cat-eyed boy: Does he really have night vision?

~snip
Media reports are suggesting that Nong Yousui's 'cat eyes' are a leap in human evolution; yet some experts beg to differ.

According to a news reel from China, a young boy there possesses the ability to see in the dark. Like a Siamese cat's, his sky-blue eyes flash neon green when illuminated by a flashlight, and his night vision is good enough to enable him to fill out questionnaires while sitting in a pitch black room — or so say the reporters who visited Nong Yousui in his hometown of Dahua three years ago.

The footage of Nong and his strange-looking eyes originally surfaced in 2009; it got little attention at the time, but is now making a splash all over the Web. If the boy really does have a genetic mutation that confers night vision, then he would be an interesting subject for analysis by vision scientists, evolutionary biologists, and genetic engineers alike — but does he?

1. I led a group of Girlscouts through a forest on a rainy night at camp in DC

Nobody but me could see the path or trees. I don't think I could read that night though but my eyes are hazel, not blue.
