Ocular Physiological Phenomena

English The morphology of the ophthalmic cornea in the blenniid fish Coryphoblennius galerita (Teleostei) shows adaptation to the amphibious life. Amphibious vision is provided by a flattened area within the cornea. Eyes of other, non-amphibious blenniids are compared with those of C. galerita.
