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!

In these episodes he removed cataracts from a harbor seal and a sea lion that had been rescued by the team at Sea World California. Both procedures were successful and enabled the animals to be returned to the ocean. He is pictured here with one of his patients, Captain, the bottle nose dolphin at Sea World. We are currently trying to acquire the episode number and link it there.
