The eye is 27 cm (10 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide, with a lens 12 cm (4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) across. This is the largest eye of any known animal. [30] These measurements are of the partly collapsed specimen; alive, the eye was probably 30 [31] to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) across. [57] Inspection of the specimen with an endoscope revealed ovaries containing thousands ...
Scallops have up to 100 simple eyes. The molluscs have the widest variety of eye morphologies of any phylum, [1] and a large degree of variation in their function. Cephalopods such as octopus, squid, and cuttlefish have eyes as complex as those of vertebrates, while scallops have up to 100 simple eyes.
Some sources state that the vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) has the largest eyes of any animal relative to its size, with a 15 cm (5.9 in) specimen having eyes around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter. [171] Iridoteuthis iris is an extreme example of a sepiolid with disproportionately large eyes
The giant squid has a sophisticated nervous system and complex brain, attracting great interest from scientists. It also has the largest eyes of any living creature except perhaps the colossal squid—up to at least 27 cm (11 in) in diameter, with a 9 cm (3.5 in) pupil (only the extinct ichthyosaurs are known to have had larger eyes).

The extreme mobility allows them to be rotated in all three dimensions, yet the position of their eyes has shown to have no effect on the perception of their surroundings. [17] They are thought to have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom and have the most complex front-end for any visual system ever discovered. [18] [19] [20]
I Spent Hours Photographing Zoo Animals’ Eyes, And These 11 Photos Reveal Their Secret Emotions. Mac So. November 12, 2024 at 11:26 AM. Hi there, I'm a zoo photographer, Mac So.
The tapetum lucidum, in animals that have it, can produce eyeshine, for example as seen in cat eyes at night. Red-eye effect, a reflection of red blood vessels, appears in the eyes of humans and other animals that have no tapetum lucidum, hence no eyeshine, and rarely in animals that have a tapetum lucidum. The red-eye effect is a photographic ...
The eye of a bird is larger compared to the size of the animal than for any other group of animals, although much of it is concealed in its skull. The ostrich has the largest eye of any land vertebrate, with an axial length of 50 mm (2.0 in), twice that of the human eye. [1] Bird eye size is broadly related to body mass.
