the same, light reflected from underwater objects passes directly
through the cornea and is focused in the lens, which has a higher
index. Air, on the other hand, has a lower refractive index than the
cornea, for which reason the light is refracted twice. The anableps

sees both images clearly by using its flawless, egg-like lenses. The sec-
tion of the lens at the same level as the pupil has been given a spheri-
cal shape, just like a fish's eye. A swimming insect larva can thus be
focused onto the retina. The less rounded upper part, on the other
hand, more closely resembles the human eye and compensates for the
two refractions that take place when looking at objects in the air. The
fish can thus see even a mosquito perfectly clearly. This perfect design
is just one of the countless examples of God's incomparable creative
artistry.

This shows how a four-eyed fish sees in environments with different refractive prop-
erties, such as water and air.
