underwater vision
Seeing beneath waves
Underwater vision refers to the ability to see beneath the surface of water.
Human eyes, adapted for air, struggle underwater—images appear blurry because water bends light differently than air does.
Goggles or masks create an air pocket that restores normal focus.
Some animals have eyes specially adapted for clear underwater sight.
The phrase also describes technology like underwater cameras or sonar imaging systems used to see in aquatic environments.
