Now, what the heck makes you think our eyes evolve, although we dont need eagle eyes for survival?
You're almost blind, yet live and post here happily on a daily basis.
Did it ever occur to you, that you might be the living proof something like de-volution exists as well?

There is no "de-evolution", just a constant process of adapting to the requirements for you to reproduce effectivly. If eye sight gets worse, then that simply is a marker for lesser requirements in eyesight in our modern world. On the other hand I expect some adjustments for sitting in offices 8 hours a day in the long run, instead of running through the woods catching prey.
Btw, if men will lose its hair has still to be seen. Recent studies suggest men has still hair for the very banal reason that it makes life harder for bugs, mosquitos and other leeches having a go at you. Else we already would have lost it.
I dare say even the most rich and sophisticated/intelligent people on this planet will be thankful to keep it for bit longer unless they want to eridacte all insect life.
