Basic arrangement of spider eyes, viewed from above. Most spiders have eight eyes, which tend to be arranged into two rows of four eyes on the head region. The eyes can be categorised by their location and are divided into the anterior median eyes (AME), anterior lateral eyes (ALE), posterior median eyes (PME), and posterior lateral eyes (PLE).
The posterior lateral (PLE) and anterior lateral eyes (ALE) provide the spider with a 360-degree survey of its surroundings. Field of vision of the ALE overlap in front of the spider. Each anterior medial eye (AME) consists of a long tube that can be moved independently to scan the area in front of the spider with high resolution.

Like other jumping spiders, T. planiceps relies on their very acute eyesight for hunting. The anterior median eyes are the primary eyes used for capture of stationary prey while the anterior lateral eyes are the main eyes used in chasing Both sets of eyes can be coordinated to enable switching from one hunting type to the other.
