The tuatara (a lizard-like reptile native to New Zealand) technically has three eyes. Two are ordinary functional eyes but the third, or parietal eye, is under its skin and is not used for vision. This is similar to the third eye called the pineal gland found in mammals and humans. It is a common feature in reptiles such as lizards and frogs.

The parietal eye has a lens, retina and nerve connection, and grows on top of the reptile's head, under the skin. It is thought that light falling on this third eye may influence certain biological functions such as sleep and hibernation.

Tarantulas have 8 eyes, a main pair of eyes at the front which look forward and 3 smaller pairs spaced around it's 'head' providing it with an almost full view of it's surroundings.

Yes, tuataras have an extra parietal eye on the top of their heads, presumably to detect night and day cycles.

The shell protects a sea turtle like a shield from many predators. Another adaptation that a sea turtle has is its flippers. A sea turtle's flippers help it swim smoothly. They are also built for digging in the sand. A sea turtle has a very interesting adaptation near its eyes. There is a gland that helps release salt from the ocean.
