What are those yellow "eyes" on top of the Airbus 320 wing for?

Used for the over-wing escape slide in case of ditching. My A320 knowledge is old, so it's either that or it's for the lifeline.

It is indeed an attachment for the lifeline. The slide positions itself automatically on inflation and directs PAX and crew towards the (inner) trailing edge.
