In Mark 8:23, the accusative plural occurs in the action of spitting on the blind man's eyes before he is asked whether he sees anything. In Matthew 20:34, the genitive plural occurs in the clause where Jesus touches their eyes and they immediately regain sight; the APB renders the clause "touched their eyes."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term with "eyes" in actions connected with a blind man's treatment and the recovery of sight. This reflects the clauses' presentation rather than a precise word-by-word rendering.
