Hey Catherine,
That to me ranks right up there with "The lord works in mysterious ways". The fact is that there are many other configurations that would have resulted in a better eye than the one we have now, gives you two possibilities:
1. The designer had no clue how to do it better, making her not omnipotent.
2. The design is not a design at all, but a very gradual rearranging and rewiring of existing parts, where perfection never gets obtained but leaves you with an advantage over other species with even less perfect eyes.
