Cephalopoda Glossary
A secondary eyelid often occurs in species that have a cornea. The eyelid encroaches over the cornea from the ventral side. The photograph on the left shows a secondary eyelid that is nearly closed. In the photograph on the right the cornea is more opaque in this preserved animal and the secondary eyelid is more open.
