View from the Vantage of a frog's eye. Actually (FYI) frogs would not see this. Experiments suggest that frogs can only see objects that are moving.

they said that about the T-Rex in the first "Jurassic Park" film

"Dr. Alan Grant: [with Lex in front of the T-Rex] Don't move! He can't see us if we don't move."

Jurassic Park (1993) - IMDb

do you remember how that theory turned out.

look close enough at the grey one and you may be able to see the chain link fencing

the white one (clearly not an albino no red/pinkish eyes) was photographed through the glass window of the enclosure

Of course, that cannot be known for certain. However, T rex and related carnivorous dinosaurs are very, very close cousins of birds, so birds are the best guides to what such dinosaurs could or could not see. It is likely, therefore, that their eyes were very "sharp" = able so see small details even at some distance, and they probably had wide-spectrum color vision (including possibly being able to see ultraviolet light). Birds can see objects that are not moving - some can be trained to discriminate between simple shapes (triangle, circle, square). All-in-all, the vision or T. rex was probably far closer to ours than to that of a frog, and some aspects of their vision may have been "superior*" to that of humans.

* I greatly dislike words such as "better" or "superior" applied to organisms. It is a value judgement rather than a scientific evaluation.
