The Difference Between Human Vision And Bird Vision

Sure, getting laser eye surgery can bring a person’s vision to a perfect 20/20. But our vision would still be subpar compared to that of a bird’s. This photo comparison of what an avian sees compared to what we see demonstrates just that.

See, birds naturally have the ability to see more colors than we do, with them being tetrachromats. They can see UV hues, which human beings can’t due to us being only trichromats. That said, the term bird’s eye view now means much more than just a photography angle.
