Specialized Lenses
Toddler-Approved
A 19-month-old girl who was born with detached retinas in both eyes (at right) will develop the ability to perceive light and shade and enhance her perception using customized lenses developed by Zeiss’ Great Lakes lab.
The lenses were designed for Lainey Parker by request from her aunt, a Zeiss customer. The +15D toric polycarbonate lenses required manual fining and have increased her freedom of movement, the company says.
