    Hypothetically, if we managed to make a genetically modified human with the eye that you are talking about, what advantages/disadvantages would it have over our current eyes?

      No blind spot and probably better light sensitivity. But it’s not like we really need higher light sensitivity as land-dwellers.

        better light sensitivity

        I like to think of it as “colors and light so brilliant and pretty it’s like tripping shrooms”

          It does, but their eyes still have blind spots and their eyes could possibly be even better if their photoreceptors were oriented towards the incoming light.
