Eye Development:
For a review of vertebrate eye development this chapter from developmental biology gives a great synopsis as well a wealth of citations for more in depth review,
Gilbert SF. Developmental Biology. 6th edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates; 2000. Development of the Vertebrate Eye. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK10024/

Retinopathy of Prematurity Resources:
For an overview of the disorder aimed at a lay audience the NIH website has some excellent resources,
National Institute of Health, National Eye Institute, Facts about retinopathy of Prematurity. https://nei.nih.gov/health/rop/rop
To delve deeper into the research on ROP, this review from Shah et al. makes for a great starting point,
Shah, Parag K et al. “Retinopathy of prematurity: Past, present and future.” World journal of clinical pediatrics vol. 5,1 35-46. 8 Feb. 2016, doi:10.5409/wjcp.v5.i1.35
For more clinically oriented details this review by Hartnett and Penn offers a well rounded clinical exploration of ROP,
Hartnett, M Elizabeth, and John S Penn. “Mechanisms and management of retinopathy of prematurity.” The New England journal of medicine vol. 367,26 (2012): 2515-26. doi:10.1056/NEJMra1208129

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Resources:
A good place to start is often where it began,
Takahashi K, Yamanaka S. Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors. Cell. 2006;126:663–676. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2006.07.024.
This review by Inoue et al. outlines some of the groundbreaking medicinal applications for iPSC’s,

Eye Organoid Resources:
A tremendous review of the different organoid systems,
Sasai, Y., Eiraku, M. & Suga, H. In vitro organogenesis in three dimensions: self–organising stem cells. Development 139, 4111–4121 (2012)
Formation of the optic cup from mouse embryonic stem cells,
Eiraku, et al. Self-organizing optic-cup morphogenesis in three-dimensional culture
Nature, 472 (7341) (2011), pp. 51-U73
Human iPSC derived eye organoid retinal tissue exhibits responsiveness to light,
Hallam, Dean et al. “Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Generate Light Responsive Retinal Organoids with Variable and Nutrient-Dependent Efficiency.” Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio) vol. 36,10 (2018): 1535-1551. doi:10.1002/stem.2883
