PLEXIGLAS LENS IMPLANTS

Here are some World War II facts
About the implants used to fix cataracts:
British fighter pilot guys
Oft had canopy slivers stuck in their eyes.
This was due to German bullet impacts.

The Plexiglas is called PMMA.
With the eye it has no adverse role to play.
The doctors sometimes left the slivers in.
The Plexiglass helped the doctors win,
And it's used for lens implants still today.
