And I think that not all spiders have 6 eyes, or however many they have. Could be wrong, but I believe some(most, all?) Salticidae, or Jumping Spiders, have two predominant forward facing eyes, and two off to the side..

Jumping Spiders have the best eyesight of any spider.. they can actually see and stalk their prey from something like 8 feet. :Q
I just saw a jumping spider pounce a small dead moth that's been stuck on my wall for a few months now.
It crept upt to it very slowly, then when it reached about one inch from it, it just jumped at it. You couldn't even see it jump because it was so fast, it looked like it just teleported there.
Then it was all over the moth for about 20 seconds before it found out it was dry, and left.
