Most likely the fact that the fish has no eyes indicates that the cave that the fish lives in is very dark, and the fish has no evolutionary use for the eyes. Eyes may also indicate a weak spot where predators can attack, so not having eyes may help with the fishes survival.

Fish that live in caves and have no eyes have usually adapted to their lightless environment by relying on other senses such as enhanced taste, smell, and touch to navigate and find food. Evolutionarily, they have lost their eyes due to lack of light and reduced need for vision in their dark habitat. This specialization is an example of adaptation to the specific conditions of their environment.
