This review is from: Sir Harold Ridley and His Figth for Sight: He Changed the World So That We May Better See It (Hardcover)
David Apple spent nearly 20 years documenting the story of Harold Ridley and the development of the intraocular lens. The story is fascinating and inspiring, how Mr. Ridley perservered despite overwhelming opposition from the medical establishment, to develop the lens implant, which restores normal vision after cataract surgery. As a bonus Dr. Apple relates the fascinating history of ophthalmology, World War II, and his own pioneering research into intraocular lens pathology.
In an age where Dr. Christian Bernard is a household name for pioneering the heart transplant, Sir Harold Ridley should be a hero, as well, for improving the lives of the hundred million people who have benefited from his gift. |
