Not all snails can see. Visionless snails move around using their tentacles and a good sense of smell.
Some snails can only see differences between light and dark, while others can clearly make out prey and other targets. Every snail species is different, but carnivorous snails generally have better vision than herbivorous snails because they need that vision to hunt. Snails also have different eye types – some have eyes that work like pinhole cameras while others have vesicular eyes with functionality more closely matching the eyes of a human.
