Your own ignorance leads you to separate the two. Your eye is a modified light spot. Light spots are modified photoreceptive cells. The lineage is positively ancient, it goes back to the nexus between plants and animals...and it's been providing a survival advantage all the way along. This is what eye spots developed out of in the first place. I suppose it might seem strange to you that a trees leaves and your eyes share a developmental pathway, but they do - the opsins which your eye is built out of came to you by way of your blue green algae ancestors, and the same is true of a leaves chloroplasts. Your's have since been replaced by type 2 opsin, while plants largely diverged out to phytochrome.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
