Prey usually have eyes on the sides of their head so they have a large field of view, from which to avoid predators. Predators usually have eyes in front of their head so they have better depth perception. [46] [47] Benthic predators, like flatfish, have eyes arranged so they have a binocular view of what is above them as they lie on the bottom.
Amongst jawless fish, the lamprey has well-developed eyes, while the hagfish has only primitive eyespots. [6] Fish vision shows adaptation to their visual environment, for example deep sea fishes have eyes suited to the dark environment. Fish and other aquatic animals live in a different light environment than terrestrial species.
Some have long feelers to help them locate prey or attract mates in the pitch black of the deep ocean. The deep-sea angler fish in particular has a long fishing-rod-like adaptation protruding from its face, on the end of which is a bioluminescent piece of skin that wriggles like a worm to lure its prey.

Scuba diver with bifocal lenses fitted to a mask. Underwater vision is the ability to see objects underwater, and this is significantly affected by several factors.. Underwater, objects are less visible because of lower levels of natural illumination caused by rapid attenuation of light with distance passed through
The paper "The roles of filters in the photophores of oceanic animals and their relation to vision in the oceanic environment" has been cited at least 200 times and "Longwave-sensitive visual pigments in some deep-sea fishes: segregation of 'paired' rhodopsins and porphyropsins" over 125 times.

The eyes of H. heteropsis are dimorphic both in size and in lens pigmentation for specialized vision in the ocean's mesopelagic zone (200–1000 meters below the ocean surface). [3] The different properties of the squid's eyes allow it to see a variety of different light sources present in its habitat, primarily downwelling sunlight and ...
