Sharks have better binocular vision than you might expect, even hammerhead sharks. They often have overlapping field of view directly above them, but not immediately in front of their face. Most sharks can freely swap between stereoscopic and monocular vision.
Having a blind spot directly in front of one’s face isn’t actually much of a detriment to a shark, because sharks have extremely well-developed electroreception organs, especially around their mouths.
