A lemur has had its sight restored following a two-hour operation at a Jersey wildlife park.
The primate, known by his keepers as Sam, began exhibiting eye problems in January.
Two experts from the Animal Health Trust performed the operation at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
Veterinary surgeons Claudia Hartley and Rachael Grundon have previously helped elephants, bears and lions to see again.
Dr Hartley, head of ophthalmology at the AHT, said: "There is nothing quite like the feeling of restoring sight to an animal, especially witnessing them see again for the first time.
"It really is the best job in the world."
