The tissue on the retinal surface of the cow eye that produces eye shine at night is known as the tapetum lucidum. This reflective layer enhances night vision by reflecting light that passes through the retina back into the eye, allowing for better illumination of the photoreceptor cells. This adaptation is common in many nocturnal animals, helping them see in low-light conditions.
