Snake vision

I've been finding it difficult to find information about sightedness in some specific species of snakes, in my research. I know some snakes can see, and most are blind to some degree or another, but getting specific information is proving difficult.
The snakes I specifically need to know about for my story are Rosy Boas, Corn Snakes, and King Cobras. Of those, I found out Corn Snakes can only really see blurry shapes and movement. Some Cobras can apparently aim at the eyes of people and other animals when spitting venom at them, but I still can't find information on Rosy Boas and King Cobras in specific.
If anybody knows the answer to either of these specific snakes, or knows where to find such information, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
PS = Adding Indian Cobras to the list of snakes I would like sightedness info on.
