Stomatopods have stereo vision with only one eye. If you look at your pic, you can slightly make out a line on each eye that separates each into two parts. They can also see ultraviolet and infrared (and sometimes polarized light).

The Animal Planet channel did a special called the Worlds Most Extreme Senses and stomatopods won the number 2 place for having the best vision. In other words, you're not going to be doing a lot of sneaking up on these guys even if you think you are.
