   The eyes begin to develop as a pair of diverticula (pouches) from the lateral aspects of the forebrain.These diverticula make their appearance before the closure of the anterior end of the neural tube; [1] [2] after the closure of the tube around the 4th week of development, they are known as the optic vesicles.

3. Alternating occlusion training - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_occlusion_training

   Alternating occlusion training, also referred to as electronic rapid alternate occlusion, is an approach to amblyopia and to intermittent central suppression in vision therapy, in which electronic devices such as programmable shutter glasses or goggles are used to block the field of view of one eye in rapid alternation.

9. Eye development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_development

   Only the epidermis in the head is competent to respond to the signal from the optic vesicles. Both the optic vesicle and the head epidermis are required for eye development. The competence of the head epidermis to respond to the optic vesicle signals comes from the expression of Pax6 in the epidermis. Pax6 is necessary and sufficient for eye ...
