Are they using this as telescope or as a way go view more angles at once than their own eyes could?

I was wondering the same thing. Or the reflective surface could attract prey so they can jump at it.

I think they wear them to complete their field of vision, as they have 8 eyes however they don't see a full 360 degrees field of view. There are a few spots where they can't see. So perhaps they use the water droplets as a way to complete their field of vision.
