No they don't , I once watched this animal program and this professor guy said that fish don`'t need any eye lids because they are in water and their eyes all ready get moist. However, sharks are considered a fish and they have eyelids.
I saw a show an Discovery Channel that said they have invisible eyelids like
camels and snakes so that their eyes are always protected
does that answer your question?!

thats not right they have a nictitating membrane that keeps their eyes protected so they don't have to have eyelids! but that membrane acts like a lid but they are able to keep their eyes open anyways!!!!

sharks dont they put a white covering up to protect they're eye, making them blind, to protect they're eyes during attacks.

No I don't think so. But Frogs are amphibians,that means they live two lives,one in the water,another in the land.Yes FROGS have eyelids they have two sets of eyelids one is transparent the other I don't know what kind of eyelids.

no. the water keeps their eyes moist, so they don't need tears either.
