Why do deep sea fish have large eyes?

Down at those depths, there is very little light. Large eyes are able to channel and focus what little light there might be. Evolution have granted those deep sea living creatures with larger eyes over the time. At very deep depths, there is no sunlight at all. It is all filtered away by the water/ocean above. Still some organisms and even fish are able to make light. They often do this to attract prey, but can them selves become prey to those able to see.
