Most creatures with eyeballs have a lens within the orb that allows for focusing on objects we see. Considering it’s biological use, it was quite fitting to convert it magically for both scrying and analysis.
[She points helpfully at her eyeball, and considering the size of the lens on her table, at least ten inches wide, the eye it had belonged to just have been huge... wait, did that mean this little girl went digging about in a beast’s eye socket to pull this out?
