196

Probably wouldn't be impossible but I'd imagine a race like that probably wouldn't have become space fairing, they would've continued to live on whatever dark world they lived on, as bright light would be their Achilles heel. It's also unlikely that with those eyes they would be able to see the fine details in things. So while I don't doubt those eyes being possible, they wouldn't be at all beneficial to them as a space fairing or technologically advanced race, it would hinder them greatly.

Also something else I've heard which makes it even more absurd is that (sometimes, not always) they're said to have permeable skin like amphibians, which makes the whole idea of them taking space exposure without any kind of space suit or PPE that much more absurd.
