    I mean "how" could we see them? Seeing is just a mechanism through which the cones in the eye produce an electromagnetic signal to the brain. Maybe we have more or larger cones? Bigass radar dish eyes that are not movable within a socket?

      But the signal also has to be reconstituted in your brain, which I think is where this entire question comes from. The visual part of the brain isn't a film negative waiting for light to hit it; it takes the signals from your eyes and then builds up a corresponding image for distribution.
