Scientists say they have been able to successfully print new eye cells that could be used to treat sight loss.
The proof-of-principle work in the journal Biofabrication was carried out using animal cells.
The Cambridge University team says it paves the way for grow-your-own therapies for people with damage to the light-sensitive layer of tissue at back of the eye - the retina.
More tests are needed before human trials can begin.
