The chameleon is famous for this. Researchers claim that this lizard, certainly among vertebrates is unique in this regard.

They (chameleons, not researchers!) are able to switch between synchronised and non-synchronised eye movements. This means that they can focus on two different objects in two different, and even opposite, directions.

When they find suitable prey, they synchronise their eyes and move in for the kill! Don't be frightened! They only eat flies and other tasty insects!

The eyes of the Mantis Shrimp is also very good. The midband region of the mantis shrimps eye is made up of six rows of specialized ommatidia. Four rows carry 16 differing sorts of photoreceptor pigments, 12 for colour sensitivity, others for colour filtering. The mantis shrimp has such good eyes it can perceive both polarized light, and hyperspectral colour vision . Their eyes (both mounted on mobile stalks and constantly moving about independently of each other) are similarly variably coloured, and are considered to be the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom.They permit both serial and parallel analysis of visual stimuli. It just depends on the environment.
