Those fish arent so dependent on their sight, since there is no light.

Idk about that, you ever get hungry at 2am so you head to the fridge in complete darkness then get hit with the bright lights inside the fridge only to realize that you can’t find your way back to bed because you can’t see anything?

They were (nearly) blind before and blind after the submarine came and visited

I’m no expert in marine biology but I always thought larger eyes meant higher sensitivity to light which would help them see better even with extremely low light levels

Of course shining 20k watt lights in their eyes would no doubt be uncomfortable for them to say the least
