Its focal length is determined by the radius of curvature of the cornea. Many corneal eyes (eg: in land vertebrates) also have lenses, but the lens is flattened and weakened compared with an aquatic lens; most of the refractive power is provided by the cornea. Corneal eyes cannot focus in aquatic habitat.</li> <li><strong>Attribution:</strong> <a href='https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820'>https://www.britannica.com/science/photoreception/Single-chambered-eyes#ref278820</a></li> </ul> <a href="/terms/search_results?tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bot%5D=529&tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp%5D=7922&tq%5Br%5D=record">show all records</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/assets/leaflet-0c7c49ff6cef60703f21846c767458278dc2e5a07b6df4416a14a9ee18fd8764.css" /> <div class='map-contain-overview-section'> <div class='map-contain map-contain-overview'> <div class='map' data-icon-path='/assets/maps/pin24-d17b03d0a7bd19160afaf9201eac240d5c79b6181ea425ebf09355f73099e856.png' data-icon-retina-path='/assets/maps/pin48-dc733efea4bd3e7cb7d10c3faf5e670f9e5833f09ef9433045fc1a9dd67d9948.png' data-map-data-path='/data/map_data_dwca/85/8785.json' id='map'></div> <div class='uk-text-meta map-caption'>Known occurrences, collected specimens and observations of Hypochilidae. <a href='https://gbif.org/species/7375'>View this species on GBIF <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i></a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='l-right-col'> <a class="hero-link" href="/media/12282769"><div class='hero hero-after'> <img src="https://content.eol.org/data/media/b4/ae/a2/643.28427921.jpg" /> <div class='img-info'> <i class='copyright icon'></i> Marshal Hedin   cc-by-sa-3.0 </div> </div> </a> <div class='page-habitat-chart page-habitat-chart-right uk-margin-top'> <div class='viz-contain js-viz-contain viz-contain-bar js-bar-contain' data-load-path='/traits/data_viz/bar?tq%5Bc%5D=8785&tq%5Bf%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp%5D=1002&tq%5Br%5D=taxa' data-toggle-text='show attribute summary' data-type='bar'> <div class='viz-text'> <h3 class='js-viz-text viz-text-hdr uk-hidden'>Hypochilidae Habitats</h3> <p class='js-viz-text viz-text-desc uk-hidden'>The environments in which many Hypochilidae species are known to live.
