Amsterdam elephant gets contact lens

RNW, 25 January 2012

An elephant at Amsterdam’s Artis zoo has become the first elephant in Europe to be fitted with a contact lens. Her eye was injured during a scuffle with another elephant, the zoo says.

Asian elephant Win Thida’s eye began streaming and she was evidently having trouble keeping it open because of the pain. Vet Anne-Marie Verbruggen was called in, and an examination revealed that the elephant’s cornea had been damaged, most likely by a twig.

The vet says she has often fitted horses with contact lenses, but this is the first time she’s attempted the procedure with an elephant. Fortunately Win Thida was very cooperative, after daily training sessions helped her work up to the operation. She had to remain standing under anaesthetic, as elephants can’t lie down for long before their immense weight hampers their breathing.

The vet needed to stand on a ladder to reach her patient’s eye. The treatment took less than an hour, and Win Thida seemed happier straight away. She was immediately able to keep her eye open more easily. Protected by the contact lens, the wound on her cornea will now be able to heal, the vet says.

Forty-five-year-old Win Thida is the dominant matriarch of the Amsterdam herd. She started life on a Burmese work camp and came to the Netherlands in 1989. She moved to her present home from Burger’s Zoo in Arnhem in 2004.
