You should include arguments against the teleological one. Our eye is not the best in the animal kingdom. Nor does it perceive images the right way up. Hardly an argument for an intelligent designer. I hope you encourage your students to question and include the scientific argument that the eye is an imperfect result of the long process of evolution.
