Animals with the Most Prolific Eyes

Animals with the Most Prolific Eyes 


List of animals with the most notable eyes.

The eyes are often said as "the windows of the Soul". Eyes are organs that detect light, and send signals along the optic nerve to the visual and other areas of the brain.

Here's a list of creatures with the most stunning eyes.

Jumping Spiders
Jumping spiders have large pairs of simple eyes. Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME). Their eyes are able to create a focused image on the retina, which has up to four layers of receptor cells in it.
