article_snippet: In the experiment, the liquid was dripped onto the conjunctival sacs on the eye of Gabriel Licina, one of the researchers, which carried a solution containing Chlorin e6 (Ce6) to his retinas.
article_snippet: Ce6 solution was added to the conjunctival sac via micropippette at three doses of 50μl [microlitres] into each eye,’ the researchers wrote.

article_snippet: To test the effects, Mr Licina and four ‘control’ subjects who had not been given Ce6 solution were taken to a ‘darkened area’.
