"All birds have upper and and lower eyelids. They protect the eyes and are closed when the bird sleeps. Birds also have an inner eyelid that wets and cleans the eye. This third eyelid is cloudy in most birds. But the puffin's inner eyelid has a clear center. It lets the puffin see underwater, even when the lid is protecting the eye."
