You can also imagine how another mutation might have bent this patch of cells into a concave shape that could detect the direction a light or shadow was coming from-helping creatures with the mutation stay clear of predators. Simple structures that enable an organism to do one thing-follow the light-can easily get co-opted for a different and more complex function, like sight...
