Accepting that, it doesn't invalidate the parent's point. If we don't know where in the brain the difference arises, the fact that eyes are part of the brain doesn't mean that it arises in that part - there are other parts of the brain.
That said, I expect you weren't meaning to restrict consideration to the physical eyes (the distinction does not seem relevant to the previous discussion) and using "eyes" as synecdoche for the entire visual perceptual system seems entirely reasonable (making dragonwriter's a potentially interesting clarification but not a disagreement).
- jedberg 5y agoI was referring specially to the differences in eye structure between people with two X chromosomes vs people with an X and Y: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/visual-neuroscience/article/abs/sexrelated-differences-in-chromatic-sensitivity/B7D8A0FC94FC900B9FEED27B2B18540C https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/visual-neuroscience/...
- dllthomas 5y agoAh, very interesting! I think your previous comment didn't quite do its job, and including this would've been a big improvement, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
