Det är en fjärdevägs referens för publiken.
Eftersom vi bara ser "glödande ögon" -effekten när tecken i universum inte har erkänt det, berättar vi att detta måste vara en egenskap som inte är uppenbar för dem.
Dessutom, enligt Paul Sammon:
Ridley Scott maintains that this effect "was strictly a stylistic device, one more bit of detailing, if you like. If the replicant's eyes really did glow like that within the context of the story, then why would you need a VoightKampff machine to sniff them out?"

Och om vikten av ögon inom Blade Runner-filmen betonas av Mary Jenkins när hon säger:
[Ridley] Scott said of the replicants' sometimes glowing eyes: "that kickback you saw from the replicants' retinas was a bit of a design flaw. I was also trying to say that the eye is really the most important organ in the human body. It's like a two-way mirror; the eye doesn't only see a lot, the eye gives away a lot. A glowing human retina seemed one way of stating that".
