This is the four eyed Anableps fish. It evolved to spend time at the surface of the water, and its eyes eventually adapted to see threats from above or below. Each set has its own pupils, and each set has its own adaptations for dealing with refraction and the differences between air and water. The top potions of the eyes for instance have thicker coats to prevent drying out.
