Everyone here is talking about how not having eyelids is messed up while I think being able to rotate your eyes either completely upward or completely forward is crazy!

(Also having no eyelids to protect against the aggressive blinding lights of your predators/prey probably beats having your eyes destroyed by said predators/preys toxin spewing tentacles any day if the week!)

Imagine just chilling in the dark, minding your own business, and some asshole comes at you with a light as bright as the sun, and you can't even close you're eyes because you don't have eyelids.
