Sharks aren't born blind.

But any seeing species can suffer damage to the eyes, optic nerves or part of the brain that deals with vision. And any of these can cause blindness.


In particular the Greenland Shark often picks up a parasitic shrimp which attaches itself to the shark's Eyes and eventually blinds the Shark.

The angler fish can see because of its rod like head piece on the top of its head sort of like a flashlight. This also helps it's eyes by giving them light to see with. This helps lure prey AND see.

No, most fish see colors. That's why artificial lures are often brightly colored. Some fish , primarily those who live so deep there's no light, cannot see colors.

They, like sharks are nearly blind, but they can see light and that is what attracts them.
