I'm no expert, but the fact that spiders have 8 eyes suggests to me that they may, indeed, be good at recognizing visual patterns.

The number of eyes isn't a particularly good guide. I'd guess most web-building spiders have quite poor detailed vision, as there's little need for it. Jumping spiders, which actively hunt prey, have good forward vision.
