Examples.

Bad example. That creature lives deep in ocean, he varely sees anything. That's their ONLY source of light. Absolutely different to eyes that rely on sun's light. And they don't produce light from their own eyes properly, like quarians seem to do, they just use "lamps" near them, to minimize energy needed.
So, try again.
lol do realize that the sun is about a zillion times brighter than the biolum. If quarians where blinded by such little light production theyd all be blinded everytime they turned on a light.
Furthermore the distance adjescent to the eye isnt enough to reduce the lumenosity of the biolum to any great degree that it would be any less bright if it was in fact directly in the eye. Also there is no reason to assume that quarians didn't evolve to use them in a similar fasion as lamps, or it could just be sexual preference or any number of other possibilities for having biolum.
It's still a bad example.
And it's just not functional. Neither as a lamp (not enought bright) nor as anything. Reflective eyes makes more sense, considering its functionality. That's what I was saying, that it didn't make any sense ( not that it was impossible as someone who quoted me said =/) unless you create out of nowhere some odd argument like sexual preference.
I admit I wasn't accurate saying "probably", i didn't considered the lack of oposition between two sources of light, but anyway, keep the tali love =P
