In the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, Riddick's eyes shine with an otherworldly light, but there are competing explanations for this effect.
In one of the most intense scenes in Pitch Black, Riddick removes his iconic black goggles to reveal glowing iridescent eyes, prompting the Hunter Gratzner's pilot Carolyn Fry to question why they shine so strangely. At this point in the film, the ship carrying several dozen colonists as well as Riddick as a prisoner has crash-landed on a strange world crawling with hostile creatures sensitive to light, and the only chance anyone has of surviving is trusting the perceived murderer.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite the fact that Pitch Black was a small-budget sci-fi thriller, its compelling storyline launched two sequels, The Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay prequel video game. Now that Riddick 4 is finally moving forward, there's been renewed interest in developing Riddick's character, continuing the world-building associated with his home planet Furya, and the backstory behind his signature stare.
In the Hunt for Riddick mini-game created for marketing purposes on the official Riddick website, in which a Rookie Mercenary researches Riddick to discover his whereabouts, players learn that he paid Cutter to surgically enhance his eyesight, and mentions Ursa Luna Penal Facility when it happened, not Butcher's Bay.
What Can Riddick's Eyes Do? Even if Riddick 4 will end the franchise, there's still a lot of lore surrounding Riddick and the Furyans to explore, particularly since even Furyans of high standing don't have eyeshine. Given that Riddick's eyes are most certainly a dormant Furyan trait and not the result of surgical enhancement, they're a genetic development that helps him see exceptionally well in the dark to navigate treacherous environments and overpower his enemies.
Furyans aren't necessarily superhuman, but surviving in Furya's harsh environment creates incredible strength, endurance, and fast healing. With Riddick's eyeshine in Pitch Black, he's on his way to becoming one of Furya's most powerful warriors. When combined with the Wrath of the Furyans, the collective suffering of the billions of Furyans who couldn't escape the Necromonger massacre, Riddick is practically unstoppable, provided no one shines a light in his eyes.
