 It sounds really interesting.  A transparent pupil with some kind of retinae object behind it sounds really cool.  As far as the retinae absorbing the light, I think photographers everywhere would want to beat you up for THAT statment!

Well, that's what I read about it. You don't see redeye in normal situations and that's what I meant - not photos, but looking at someone. I imagine a flash from a camera happens so fast that the pupil doesn't have time to close.
I didn't know that though about redeye... actually I never thought about it before.
