Cataract Surgery
In its present form, this is , in my opinion , the most important surgical procedure of modern times, in developed countries. It is a 15 minute procedure, conducted under local anaesthetic, which virtually all of us will need, if we live long enough and most of us will. It restore sight and as an added bonus corrects most optical errors at the same time. This blog will look briefly at the history of this modern miracle and how it has changed in the course of my career.
