A frog's eyes are on top of its head and this gives it a field of vision that's nearly 180 degrees. Its eyes also help the frog push food down its throat. This happens because when a frog swallows, the movement causes its eyes to be pulled down into the roof of its mouth. Frogs have fantastic night vision.

Some functions of a frog's eye are:

1. To see danger

2. To find prey/ mostly insects

3. To swallow food by pushing down on the prey (the frog is able to do this because the frog's eyes are connected to the roof of its mouth)

The purpose of a frogs eye is to hunt food and escape enemies with excellent night vision at night, and during day, If they are hunting.

Frogs use their eyes to catch prey, or in general, to see things.

The primary purpose of a frog's eyes is for vision. They must hunt using their acute eyesight. They wait, still and patient, until their prey comes within their vision, and at the right opportunity, grab their food.

A less known but interesting fact is that a frog uses its eyes to help push food down its throat. Frogs' eyes actually push down into their heads to help with the swallowing process.

Because it's eyes are so bumped out, by closing it's eyes, the eyes help push down the roof of the frog's mouth to hold it's prey. However, it cannot chew it's prey even though it has teeth (it is also primarily to hold it's prey), and cannot use it's eyes to push the prey down its throat.

When frogs of any kind swallow any prey of any kind the frog rolls back its eyes into its throat. The eyes push the frogs prey there. Frogs do not only blink they roll back their eyes.
