  • I was very intrigued by the section on baby vision. I recently had eye surgery for cataracts. They essentially replace the damaged lens with an artificial one (Tetraflex in my case) made from flexible plastic. They only do one eye at a time and I was amazed how bright and blue everything was in the eye they'd fixed. The other eye was much yellower and dimmer... I had no idea what I'd been missing. You also may be interested to know the ability to put plastic in the eye dates back to the second world war when pilots got canopy fragments in their eyes and it was noticed it was hypoallergenic.
