Does the size of a creature, or the size of its eye, affect what can be seen by the "naked eye"? for example, can ants see things we consider microscopic? are ants microscopic to elephants?

    Best counterexample would be peregrines and eagles. Comparatively small eyes but perfect vision at great distances.
