From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eye migration, or optical migration, is the process in some species of flatfish (of the order Pleuronectiformes) where both eyes move to the same side of the fish's body during metamorphosis. As larva, each eye begins on opposite sides of the head, then one eye moves through or around the skeleton to join the other.[1]

Each species of flatfish has a different developmental process of eye migration.
