This describes the tuatara of New Zealand.

It does not have three eyes that all have vision capabilities. The third eye is called the parietal eye. Although it has a lens, retina and nerve connection, it is not functional as an eye. it grows on top of the reptile's head, under the skin, and is not visible. Scientists have not been able to determine the function of this third eye, but it is thought that light falling on this third eye may influence certain biological functions such as sleep and hibernation.

How many eyes have tuatara explain?

Tuatara have two eyes, like most reptiles, but they also possess a unique third "parietal eye," located on the top of their head. This third eye is not used for seeing in the traditional sense but is thought to help regulate circadian rhythms and detect light. The parietal eye is covered by scales and is more of a sensory organ than a fully developed eye. Thus, while tuatara have two functional eyes, their third eye adds an interesting aspect to their anatomy.

How does a third eyelid work?

The third eyelid, or nictitating membrane, is a protective structure found in some animals, including birds and reptiles, and is present in reduced form in some mammals. It functions by sweeping across the eye to provide protection from debris and moisture while also helping to keep the eye lubricated. In addition to protection, the third eyelid can aid in vision by maintaining a clear surface over the eye. Its movement is typically controlled by muscles and can be reflexive or voluntary, depending on the species.
