Read MoreThe program is a combined effort of Roger Williams Park Zoo and the Providence After School Alliance. During the visit, Dr. Binder talks with the students (14 this year!) and shows them around the ECFA-Warwick practice. He has them look at each others eyes and even opens a saved enucleation sample for them (a huge hit). He concludes the visit by photographing each student's eyes, forwarding the photos back to them through School Programs Specialist Meg Warburton, Roger Williams Zoo. Special thanks to Emily Rusam and Cheryl Johnson with the Providence After School Alliance for sharing photos of the visit!

Read MoreEye surgery on a gorilla? It’s a very delicate operation. Not just because of the obvious reasons — working with a large primate under anesthesia — but also because gorillas have extremely thin corneas.
