Eyes on the front of the head allow for each eye to see what the other one does but from a slightly different angel. This allows the brain to build a stereoscopic (3D) view of what is in form of them, giving them great acuity of vision so that they can hunt prey effectively. Animals with eyes on the from of their faces are usually predators.

Their prey usually have eyes on the side of their heads so that they can see all round themselves and thus spot a predator coming form any direction.
