An Alligator's eyes are adapted to see underwater because half the time they live underwater. They catch their food underwater, bathe themselves underwater, and they can sometimes nap there. An Alligator has an extra eyelid on their eyes that is clear (almost like a contact lense) to see clearly underwater without letting any fluid gettting into their eyes.
A third transparent eyelid,the nictitating membrane,protects their eyes underwater. However,they cannot focus under water,meaning other senses are more important when submerged.
