Another Malaysian World's First: Orang Utan Cataract Removal Operation

An orang utan named Aman (peace in English), had successfully underwent an operation removing cataracts from both his eyes at the Matang Wildlife Centre, Kuching, Sarawak. Aman had had cataracts for the past 10 years. Despite a successful operation, it was not known how much vision will he regain.

Glad that medicine development is not limited to just us humans. We can actually save the world!
