All the better to see you with, my dear! These animals are watching you. Very closely.

While these animal eyes are dazzling, some of them will pretty quickly have you saying “Okay, you can put on some sunglasses now. We see them.” And others will have you saying “That’s an eye!?” Seriously, never enter a staring contest with a scallop. You’ll have no idea where to look.

Check out these pics of the most bizarre and beautiful eyeballs in nature, and maybe find some inspiration for your next set of contact lenses. Enjoy!
