A really stupid “design”.
I wouldn't say stupid, but it is a design that could have been avoided if the designer was indeed intelligent.
For example, the designer seemed to have favored the octopus a lot more than us. From an evolutionary perspective, the octopus took a completely different path of eye evolution. The nerves are in the back rather than the front. The advantage of this is that the light doesn't have to go through blood vessels and nerves to get to the sensitive rods and cones, like what happens in our case.
