Three elderly king penguins at Singapore's Jurong Bird Park were recently fitted with custom-made eye lenses during cataract surgery performed by ACVO Member, Dr. Gladys Boo. In a "milestone in veterinary medicine", the king penguins received custom-made intraocular lens implants made in Germany during their cataract surgeries. The custom made lenses took two months to make.
