It is easy to see how changes can occur that would
reduce sensitivity to light or even cause total loss of sight.
If there is not some controlling factor how is improve eyesight

god? What are your answers, please?

why must it be a “ built-in” mechanism? Why not simply the mechanism of evolution?

not really -not unless the eye became redundant such as in some cave-dwelling species etc
else natural selection will constantly and inevitably weed out the bad mutations that processes poorer sight.
“...If there is not some controlling factor how is improve eyesight

who says there is no “ controlling factor” ? Why can't evolution be a “controlling factor”?
“...And if there is a controlling factor what is it ….”
evolution.
“....and how did it get there? ...”
that is like asking how the downward flow of a river “get there? “
“...Assuming there is no God or gods,
can you explain this so it makes sense to me. ...”
just have; see above.
“...I also do not
see how an eye being less sensitive to light means God put
a flaw or defect in it. Maybe there is a reason that one
animals eyes are made less sensitive to light than another
animals eyes....”
why not make the eye less sensitive to light by making it smaller rather than by putting a stupid flaw in it?
“...Why does this have to defect caused by a stupid
god? What are your answers, please? ...”
why would an intellegence that isn't stupid and is supposed to be incapable of stupidity make a stupid defect? -if your answer is "no reason" then that is the answer to your question above.
