Most animals — fish, insects, reptiles, birds, rabbits, and horses, for example — exist in non-cluttered environments like fields or plains, and they have eyes located on either side of their head. These sideways-facing eyes allow an animal to see in front of and behind itself, an ability also known as panoramic vision.
Humans and other large mammals — primates and large carnivores like tigers, for example — exist in cluttered environments like forests or jungles, and their eyes have evolved to point in the same direction. While animals with forward-facing eyes lose the ability to see what's behind them, they gain X-ray vision, according to Mark Changizi, assistant professor of cognitive science at Rensselaer, who says eyes facing the same direction have been selected for maximizing our ability to see in leafy environments like forests.

The simple answer to that question, lux, is that our sun is not the Kryptonian sun. The X-ray vision obviously only applies when you are an extraterrestrial on a distant planet.
Duh, thats how Superman does it.

I know some people will ask, "I'm evolved, my eyes face foward, why don't I have X-ray vision?"
