Leela was found with her eyes crusted over which made it impossible for her to see. She surely would have died if she had not been rescued. Once her face and eyes were cleaned up it was obvious that she had very serious eye problems. Leela was wisked off to Dr. Broadwater an eye specialist in West Palm Beach. She was diagnosed with congenital agenisis of the eyelid which basically means that the eyelid never developed during embryonic growth. This lack of growth resulted in her eyelids turning inward and her eyelashes to grow inside her eye area. The constant irritation of the eye corneas resulted in abrasions and perforations. Both of Leela s eyes were severely damaged. Dr. Broadwater determined that Leela needed to have both of her eyes removed. Then on surgery day Dr. Broadwater re-examined Leela and it was discovered that she had some vision in her right eye. So the left eye being unsalvageable was removed and a corneal transplant was preformed on the right eye. Leela s eye recovery period was about 2 months.Today Leela has been given a clean bill of health and appeares to have better than expected vision. The laser pointer is one of her favorite toys.Leela is a strong spunky little girl who enjoys romping and playing with her brother Lee.
