Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
determining, using a computing device, a color temperature of lighting;
detecting, using the computing device, reflected light out of an eye of a subject from a retina of the eye of the subject, wherein said detecting comprises:
sensing, using a sensor, at least a portion of the eye of the subject, wherein non-relevant reflections from the eye of the subject are managed while sensing the portion of the eye, and wherein the sensed portion of the eye comprises at least a portion of a pupil of the eye of the subject;
determining, using the computing device, an overall intensity of light from the reflected light from the sensed portion of the pupil of the eye of the subject, wherein the overall intensity of light is adjusted by the computing device based on the determined color temperature of the lighting;
determining, using the computing device, a first intensity of a first color from the reflected light from the sensed portion of the pupil of the eye of the subject, wherein the first intensity of the first color is adjusted by the computing device based on the determined color temperature of the lighting;
determining, using the computing device, a second intensity of a second color from the reflected light from the sensed portion of the pupil of the eye of the subject, wherein the second intensity of the second color is adjusted by the computing device based on the determined color temperature of the lighting;
comparing, by the computing device, a relative intensity of the first color and a relative intensity of the second color; and

making a determination about the eye of the subject based upon the reflected light, wherein said comparison and said overall intensity are used to make the determination about the eye of the subject based upon the reflected light.
