Best Answer

The common name oyster is used for a number of different groups of bivalve mollusks.

The sensory organs of bivalves are not well developed, and are largely a function of the posterior mantle margins. The organs are usually tentacles and most are typically mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. Scallops have complex eyes with a lens and retina, but most other bivalves have much simpler eyes, if any. There are also light-sensitive cells in all bivalves, that can detect shadows falling on the animal. So to answer your question, Do oysters have eyes? Kind of.

It depends on what specific "oyster" you're referring to, and also what your actual definition of "eye" is.
