Abstract

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) represent what is arguably the greatest single advance in ophthalmology, bringing visual rehabilitation to millions of people following cataract surgery. Their impact is nothing short of amazing, as is the story of their invention by Sir Harold Ridley. In the 1940s, he discovered that shards of acrylic cockpit canopies remained
inert in the eyes of a British pilot who was blinded when his aircraft crashed during World War II. Ridley developed and implanted the first artificial lens in November, 1949, and reported on the first 27 cases in 1952. It was the first medical device implanted in a human being and generated considerable opposition from his peers
