The red-eye effect is due to the color of the fundus, which is due to melanin, a pigment, principally located in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)."

Similar to the other examples this has the effect making the angle from flash to eye to lens larger. And contrary-wise you will notice that red-eye is more of a problem when zoom is used.
