Rabbits can see extremely well. However, they see better at night. Their heads are shaped to a point and the eyes sort of bulge out allowing them to have a better field of vision even behind them. Some people think that rabbits can't see that well because at times you may be able to surprise one up close before it runs away. This is not true because the rabbit is relying on their ability to stay perfectly still and use their camouflage to blend in with the background grasses and woods.

Rabbits in the wild are most active at dusk and dawn (crepuscular), and so their vision has adapted to be best in dim light, worse in brighter light and in the darkness of night. Unlike some other animals (such as dogs and cats), they lack a tapetum, a feature of the eye that reflects light to improve night vision. Their night vision would probably be about as good as ours.

Rabbits can see an almost 360 degree range: they just can't see directly behind their heads, or directly in front of their noses. Most of what they see has no depth perception because they're only seeing it with one eye. Rabbit vision works best at twilight (they are crepuscular, which means most active at twilight). Rabbits can see some colours, but not all the ones humans can see.
