A single scallop can possess over a hundred eyes! The mantle is lined with small, blue eyes. Each eye has a lens and a retina which is attached to a branch of the optic nerve. Behind the retina is a reflective layer called a tapetum that bounces light back to the retina, enhancing the signal. The hundred or so eyes work together to alert the animal to changes in light and motion. Changes in light and motion and very rough images are registered on the retinas of the mollusc.
