Depending on what you mean by “eye handles”, yes, you have far more dynamic range than most cameras. The reason I caveat is that just like how modern smartphones with their “computation images” are really combining multiple shots together, so is your brain. I forget the exact numbers, but I think the retina itself is around 5-8 stops of dynamic range and what your brain “sees” when you are looking around is something like 15-20 stops.

Human Eye - 21 stops
Best Camera - <= 15 stops
These compressed images feel closer to me to the way I actually perceive the world. The colors do sometimes get a little funky though.
