Solution

Iodopsin
Cone cells of retina are the photoreceptor cells responsible for the vision in bright light and color vision.
This is possible due to the pigment present in the cones cells which is known as iodopsin.
Iodopsin readily breaks in dim light and reforms in the bright light, this makes a person able to see in bright light.
