Abstract
Veterinarians of the Faculty of Veterinary Science successfully performed an operation to save and restore a vulture's eyesight which was affected by cataracts. The operation that was completed in just over an hour not only was the first of its kind done on any vulture species in Africa but also the first of its kind on a bird of the Gyps species in the world.
