I just re-posted:

Bear in mind that in insects, the original mounting most likely happened to be convex. Insect eyes work by a series of little tubes -- ommatidia -- like telescopes, each with its own lens, pointed out at angles from the curve, forming a ‘compound eye’. They are inside out compared to ours. It’s another way of doing the same thing.

Thia, you might also look at Scigirl's 15 January post in <a href="http://iidb.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=000008" target="_blank">this thread</a>, which covers some of the same ground, plus more besides.

Best of luck.
