Title: Falcon receives world's first avian lens replacement in eye surgery Post by: Donna on 03-Oct-14, 08:39:21 AM For the first time, cataract surgery has restored a falcon's sight. A team of veterinarians and vision specialists from around the globe collaborated to restore sight to Banner, a four-year-old Lanner Falcon. The surgery was performed on Monday to restore Banner's vision.
