Sight For Sore Eyes

Eye Can See Clearly Now

A German company is making contact lenses for animals, including lions, giraffes, tigers and bears, with cataracts. The acrylic intraocular lenses are custom-made to fit each animal. Clients include a sea lion with blurred vision, a formerly blind kangaroo and a partially sighted lioness at a Romanian zoo.

FOOTNOTE: Big cat cataract.
