Sunlight only penetrates the ocean to a depth of about 1,000 meters, or 3,280 feet. Anywhere in the ocean deeper than that does not have visible sunlight, and so visual acuity would theoretically be useless because no matter how good an animal's eyes were it would be unable to see anything.
That said, many deep sea creatures have bioluminescence. That means they have small, transparent organs on their exteriors which house microorganisms that are capable of producing light when triggered by the animal. These lights can be used for a species to locate others of its own kind to find mates, and of course, they have the potential to reveal an animal to any predator that can see it, or reveal a predator to prey. Also, the deep sea anglerfish is famous for having a light that it uses to lure prey. Therefore, in the deep sea, even though there is no sunlight, many if not most animals have some amount of vision to detect the bioluminescence of other animals.
So it's hard to say that eyesight would be completely useless to an animal that lived in a deep sea cave, but because light is so sparse in that environment, eyes would not have anything to see except the occasional bioluminescent organism.

What is the adaptation of a redwood?

Their ability to grow tall allows them to capture sunlight in dense forests, giving them a competitive advantage for light.

What is the behavioral adaptation of the narwhal?
One behavioral adaptation of the narwhal is migration. The narwhal undergoes summer and winter migrations. In the summer, the narwhal is found in shallower waters. That's the season when the food supply is abundant, and easy to catch, in shallower waters. In the winter, the narwhal is found in deeper waters. That's the season when food is scarce in shallower waters, and more abundant in deeper waters. Another behavioral adaptation is deep diving. There's no need for narwhals to perform the deep dives in shallower waters. But in deeper waters, the narwhal performs some of the deepest, known mammalian dives on record. So, depending on the season, the narwhal has a diving range of 30-300 meters/90-900 feet down in summer, and 800-1,500 meters/2,400-4,500 feet down in winter.
Where does a wood pecker keep its tongue?
A woodpecker's tongue wraps around its skull and can extend up to three times the length of its bill. This unique adaptation allows woodpeckers to probe deep into crevices in search of insects while protecting their brains from potential impact damage.
