Octopus eye versus human eye
Octopus and human eyes are similar even though they developed on
different paths. Each has a cornea, an iris, an accommodating lens, a
fluid-filled vitreous humor, a retina, and so forth.

Octopus eyes focus like a camera with the lens moving in or out while
our eyes use muscles to squeeze the lens to focus. The octopus eye,
like other invertebrate eyes, develops as an invagination, or
in-pocketing, of the skin. Human eyes develop as extensions of the
brain. Here is a more detailed explanation of the difference.
