Derivation of Planck's constant/Proof that the human eye operates near the quantum fluctuation limit

Combine your value for the energy E of each photon with the wavelength of visible photons Å to give an estimate for Planck's constant h. How close are you to the correct value? What alternate, non-quantum, explanations can you give?
