Vaako talking about other Furyans

Vaako tells Riddick the story of the Necromongers' battle against the Furyans on planet Furya. He supports the validity of his story by mentioning that a Furyan's eyes whom they fought had eyes just like Riddick's with which he tries to convince Riddick that they were actually on planet Furya. However, Vaako indirectly also means that the Furyan's eyes are like that. But that is not their original eyes. Riddick got those eyes due to not seeing light for 5 years or? So is this a mistake in the movie or is Vaako actually trying to bs Riddick? Other than that, doesn't Riddick know that it is not the Furyan's original eyes? We also see this in TCOR when Riddick sometimes sees the Furyan woman who had normal eyes. So what's up with this when Vaako mentions to Riddick the eyes of the Furyan warrior?

It's never fully explained but, I think Riddick knew Vaako was lying. He probably thought Vaako just wanted him out of the way so he went along with Vaako's plan just for a chance to see Furya, but, he probably didn't know they were going to try to kill him. Riddick says something to the effect of letting the Necros get too close so, to me, this hints at the fact that Riddick was not anticipating their attempt to kill him even though he knew how badly they didn't want him to be Lord Marshal. They used the lure of Furya (something they knew Riddick couldn't resist) to get Riddick to let his guard down.

**Just my theory :)

I wondered that myself, but yea, Riddick didn't get his eyes like that because of not seeing the sun/light, it was done by a doctor as punishment for his crimes, so he'll never see daylight again.
He explains it in the first film (Pitch Black).

Are you forgetting the Purifier in COR also did not have the eyes? The eyes are not a Furyan thing.
