What dinosaur had the biggest eyes?

Ophthalmosaurus
When considering what scientists call relative growth, Ophthalmosaurus has the largest eyes of all. The blue ichthyosaur shape indicates Ophthalmosaurus in the figure below, where you can see it is far above dinosaurs and even other ichthyosaurs. Another interesting thing about ichthyosaurian eyes is their f-numbers.

The long-skulled Giganotosaurus, native to South America, lived during the Mesozoic Era (97 million years ago), while the massive, heavy-headed T. Rex, native to North America, lived during the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period (67 to 65.5 million years ago).

Is Giganotosaurus stronger than Spinosaurus?
