And if the eye is so special how does it become injured and diseased so easily?
Perhaps a better question is "If the vertebrate eye was designed by the same creator who designed the cephalopod eye, why did he put the nerve connections on the wrong side of the retina in the former, but not the latter?"
The cephalopod eye clearly has a better basic layout, with no blind spot, and much reduced image processing needs; If these two objects, with similar structure and purpose, were designed by a single infallible designer, why didn't he use the better design for both?
Indeed, that question can be asked of a huge range of structures, organs and assemblies in the natural world, where there is more than one way of achieving the same ends. If sharks have gills, so they needn't surface for air, then why don't whales? If I was designing both species, I would pick the better of the two ways of oxygenating the blood for an aquatic creature, and use it for both.
The natural world is full of sub-optimal solutions, for which a more optimal alternative ALSO exists, but in a different taxon. While it is always possible to handwave away a single example of poor design by saying that there may be an (unknown) reason why the apparently better design couldn't work, that rather weak argument is demolished by the existence of another species that is observably able to make the better design work.
Bad design is evidence of a blind watchmaker, as Terry Pratchett famously pointed out.
