Editing Amblyopsidae (section)

===Eyes===
The name of the family, Amblyopsidae, refers to their eyes (compare [[amblyopia]]). Most in this family are either [[Blind fish|blind]] or can only detect the difference between light and darkness. The true cave-dwellers have only rudimentary eyes, like so many other fauna that live in the dark.<ref name=Romero/>

Although some cave-dwellers have tiny, [[vestigial]] but functional eyes, others, such as the ''[[Amblyopsis]]'' and ''[[Typhlichthys]]'' have no eyes at all. Blindfish do, however, have rows of sensory [[wikt:papillae|papillae]] on their skin, which they use to help navigate.

Similar darkness-adaptive traits can be seen in [[Cavefish#Range and diversity|many fish families]] where members live underground and is known as [[convergent evolution]].<ref name=Romero/><ref name=Rantin2013>Rantin B., and M.E.
