This doesn't make sense to me. The iris doesn't collect light for vision. The pupil expands or contracts to vary the amount of light that reaches the retina. Iris color should have nothing to do with it.

Plus, no summer day is brighter than a clear winter day with snow on the ground.

Most reindeer live North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon in winter months. I suspect most summer days are brighter than the few hours of twilight the reideer get in December.
