There's also the question of why would it experience horror? It's not exactly in pain, and they way they make the eyes grow is just to add the hormone signal that makes eyes grow when developing.

So from its perspective, it just got told to make eyes, so it has rudimentary eyes now. Hardly the most horrifying existence.
