Dr. Dan Killam@clacke @alex I will avoid speculating on eye evolution because that's a famously controversial field that I don't know enough about :blob_laughing: ! But yes many mollusks have redundant systems of photosensing, including the examples you both have mentioned. Even giant clams have literal eyes with simple retinas that can resolve shapes, but also sense light through the activity of their symbiotic algae
