BUT the hard outer eyelid would not need to be as clean, because it does not
act as a lens like the inner one, nor is it a soft and vulnerable to
scratching. Some animals have an inner eyelid for going under water. You
could argue that for such animals, it is pointless, because their outer
eyelid still gets wet.
