Development of a functional eye involves two basic processes. First, a homogeneous undifferentiated population of cells must be induced to acquire specific cell fates. Second, cells must also have a sense of where they lie within the retina (a process known as patterning) in order to form proper topographical connections with the rest of the brain.
