Just as nature has to be experienced visually for its true meaning to shine forth, the photographic eye has to be present to capture the image. Contrary to what one might think, the 'transparent eyeball' is not a free-floating entity, but a necessary link between the observer and the landscape surrounding him or her. [7]
The Pacific barreleye fish [1] (Macropinna) is a genus of ray-finned fish belonging to Opisthoproctidae, the barreleye family.It contains one species, M. microstoma.It is recognized for a highly unusual transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen.

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eyeball which covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. [1] [2] In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres. [3]
The eyes of Winteria telescopa differ slightly from those of other opisthoproctids by their more forward-pointing gaze.. Barreleyes, also known as spook fish (a name also applied to several species of chimaera), are small deep-sea argentiniform fish comprising the family Opisthoproctidae found in tropical-to-temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The vitreous humour, or vitreous body, is a jelly-like, transparent substance that fills the majority of the eye. It lies within the vitreous chamber behind the lens, and is one of the four optical components of the eye. [8] Thus, floaters follow the rapid motions of the eye, while drifting slowly within the pocket of liquid. [9]
Apposition eyes work by gathering a number of images, one from each eye, and combining them in the brain, with each eye typically contributing a single point of information. The typical apposition eye has a lens focusing light from one direction on the rhabdom, while light from other directions is absorbed by the dark wall of the ommatidium .
The nictitating membrane of a masked lapwing as it closes over the left eye, originating from the medial canthus. The nictitating membrane (from Latin nictare, to blink) is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye from the medial canthus to protect and moisten it while maintaining vision.
