I don't think there's a hard rule you can put on it. Sharks are ambush predators, but they need a wide field of vision to scan above and below for prey. Monkeys are mostly herbivores or opportunistic omnivores, but they have forward facing eyes to jump through trees. It's just about what they animal needs their eyes to do, and forward facing eyes are mostly used for trying to grab another animal.
