About bed bug eyes, "what do they see"?:
Bed bugs have a complex visual system with two compound eyes, which contain many tiny lenses that allow them to see multiple images simultaneously. They can detect light and movement, but their eyesight is relatively poor compared to other insects. They rely more heavily on other senses, such as their sense of smell, to locate their prey. Their eyes are very good at detecting movement even though their eyesight is somewhat poor.

Shapes and shadows:
To a bed bug, the world may appear as a series of shapes and shadows, and they may use these visual cues to navigate and locate their hosts. They may also use their sense of touch to detect the presence of a host by feeling vibrations or changes in temperature.

They rely upon other senses more:
Bed bugs are known for their ability to hide in small cracks and crevices, and they may use their senses to locate these hiding spots. There are so many other senses besides eyes that the blood feeding insect relies upon much more than sight. They may also use their sense of smell to detect the presence of other bed bugs or to locate a potential host. Bed bugs from birth will already know that climbing vertical objects will eventually lead to a host to feed upon. It is believed that this comes from the fact that most humans sleep on beds raised off the floor by vertical legs.
Bed bug eyes are different than human eyes:
Overall, while we can't know for sure what it's like to see the world through the eyes of a bed bug, it's clear that their perception of the world is different from ours, and they rely on a variety of senses to navigate and survive in their environment.
