Fly eyes are actually pretty but not the fly itself

[Smartest_]

If you had eyes like a fly, you would have a number of advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage would be the increased visual acuity, as flies have compound eyes with thousands of individual facets, or ommatidia, each providing a separate image. This allows them to detect movement and perceive detail much better than humans can.

Another advantage would be the ability to see in almost 360 degrees, as their eyes are located on the sides of their head, giving them a wide field of view.

A disadvantage would be the lack of depth perception, as the images from the two eyes are not combined in the brain to create a single 3D image, which would make it difficult to judge distances and navigate in space.

Additionally, you would need to adapt to see the ultraviolet spectrum and perceive polarized light, which would be useful for navigation and communication but would be difficult to understand and process for humans.

Overall, having eyes like a fly would give you some unique capabilities, but it would also require significant adjustments in your brain's visual processing, and would likely have a major impact on your perception of the world.

Actually most insects, can see alot finer detail then what studies traditional thought. So it wouldn't be exactly blurry, if blurry at all.

Narrator : Each eye doesn't really see that well

Fly : Always sees me coming .

Me : 😒
