fish-eye

Wide-angle lens type

A fish-eye is a suspicious or hostile sidelong glance: She gave him the fish-eye when he walked in late.

The look suggests cold, unblinking scrutiny—like being watched by a fish.

A fish-eye lens is an ultra-wide-angle camera lens that produces a circular, distorted image with a 180-degree field of view, mimicking how a fish might see the world above water.
