Original Toronto Star caption: Dr. Henry Brent, a doctor at the Hospital for Sick Children's contact lense clinic uses a light in order to examine the eyes of 18-month-old Wayne Millar who is accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Kim Millar. Wayne was fitted for contact lenses when he was only nine months old. He was born with a cataract in one eye and had it removed by surgery when only a baby. Twenty infants under two now wear contact lenses.
