Most sharks have good vision, although there are some that don’t. The majority of them have very keen eyesight and can detect movement from long distances away. They also have the ability to see in low-light conditions and some species can even see ultraviolet light.

One thing that all sharks have in common is that they can rotate their eyeballs independently, which gives them a 360-degree view of their surroundings.

Do Sharks Have Good Vision? Yes, sharks have good vision. They can see in both murky water and in the open ocean.

Their eyes are specially adapted to help them see their prey.

One thing many sharks are missing are cones in their eyes. That means they can't see colors at all. With their evolution dating back over 400 million years, the ability to see colors wasn't important so it never developed.
