Our eyes are not ideal for living in air. They're fish eyes that adapted over and over so they work well-enough in the air. I want to know what a purpose built air eye would be like.

I wonder how they would differ? Maybe more like a camera? Though that is pretty similar to ours.

If they were air filled, which would the best for refraction/distortion avoidance, how would the air get in there? Eye vents would be problematic when swimming.
