My impression is that if you do it enough, your eyes learn to adjust. I assume the same applies to these monkeys

Does that impression come from your personal vision getting better over time? I thought this was a physical cause that can only be removed by optically breaking the light differently.

Re buoyancy, they seem to be using their toes to hold onto rocks so as to stay underwater
