It was a standard paint job with a gray star treatment, but it was a delightful idea. On November 29, 1949, the English Arzt Harold Ridley implanted a woman with a line made of acrylic glass from flugzeugbau.

Für Flight Lieutenant Gordon Cleaver War der Krieg on August 15, 1940. Two days after the “Adlertag”, with the heisse phase of the Luftschlacht in England began, where the Kanzel of the Cockpits the hurricane Jagdflugzeugs in the Luftkampf of the Maschinengewehrgarbe a feindlichen Jägerszerfetzt would become.

Cleaver combs Splitter in both Augen. If you’re prone to blindness, remember the Machine’s Ausstieg and a safe landing with the Fallschirm. A long time ago, we were spared a lot of trouble from a young officer in the service of the Royal Air Force. Signal Name War Harold Ridley.

If you are in the History of Science, a Heureka-Moment is gegeben, in unreliable Beobachtung a Prozess in Gang setzt, a dessen Ende one for her niece for possible contentne Innovation steht. Der damals 34-jaar Ridley erlebte diesen Moment, if there Cleavers Augen with their Spaltlampe in a stronger vergrösserung betrachtete.

The splitterverletzung war is nevertheless a fact: the immune response is preserved – the augment and with the body Cleavers are no longer suitable for the small fremd body. The kanzeldach file from the plastic acrylic. In the Laufe des Krieges, Ridley was whistled again with the frequency of the interaction. And this is a small abstinence reaction.

Ridley has a great gratitude: the best possible way, even if the materials are used properly, polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA – a artistic version of small organ parts, or even the most expensive ones in the medical environment?

The gray star is said to work in the ancient company

The Rede is the operation of the gray stars, which can also take place in Katarakt, and also most of the changes in the left of the Auges. If one of the oldest medical treatments has been carried out, the old-fashioned, European, medical, documentation and Wurde annual examination has been passed off as “Starstich”.

If you are a specialist, take care of «Starstecher», with some of the typical features of patients and drückten of the natural line in the glass of the August – an operation, which comes from the highest barbaric effect: Die verunreinigten Starnadeln has more infections and also the glass verbs can result in serious complications. I started surgical procedures 18 years ago, which at the Eingriff came on the first day of treatment.

So or so it feels more than a natural function: if the light is like this on the net, it is a German image. While Linse is undergoing cataract surgery, the patient receives a sogenannte Starbrille from Ausgleich. If the glass is such that the bottom of a glass bottle is used, the weight of the glass is poured onto the nasenrücken and the optical quality is increased. There was an alternative to Ridleys Zeiten contacts, with more and more people who often had no problems.

Ridley wusste: There was war in the Spur

Ridley spürte, it is an immune-delaying plastic material that brings a greater amount into the Spur war. Zusammen with specialist optical expertise in London is an artistic line of acrylic repair. The historic operation took place on November 29, 1949 at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.

Die Patientin war een Krankenschwester des Spitals. For 45 years, the war has been specific to a young class, a change in Katarakt. If there is a better line on one of the selected hours of the gray stars, these will occur: as a birth or a next step in the späteren, a Verletzung or a schweren Entzündung in the augennenen is played.

The Operation in love gut and ohne Komplikationen. Whoever erhofft loses the material does not have an immune reaction. “If the internal war is described, one of the cataract operations is to minimize the failure of the auges. The Starbrille with all the new techniques is outdated, said the cataract surgeon Daniel Mojon in St. Gallen and Zurich.

In the Pioneer operation most people were employed, the individual Brechkraft of the patient-linse-patient was a messenger and jene der doctor-intraokularlinse-researchers, nor did they start – their operations were now no longer in progress.

Those colleges were certainly «not amused»

You can also enjoy a healthy experience with your own eyes, and you will be able to enjoy the full benefits of your glasses thanks to the intraocular care provided by patients. If you come from the Kollegenkreis, there is a possibility to wage war for more or less thanks, körperfremdes material in the August einzingen.

Erst in the 1980s there were intraocular lines in the industrial nation, as standard in cataract surgery – after the treatment of operations with a stop device, a sicheren is in the operation in the auge verbale operation, or the einführung of Zusammengerollten Linsen, the über a now two millimeter long Schnitt ins Auge were delivered and sich dort enfalten.

He can be a man with a careful examination of the individual knowledge of the Cataract operation and a best judgment that works effectively. “Ridley is brighter than millions of people, safer and cleaner for the world,” Daniel Mojon explains. “There lies a grundstein of modern cataract surgery, which is its operating system with multifokallinsen, there is not a single fern that is brilliant to see.”

When there are 100,000 people in the Swiss Cataract operations, there is no higher ranking – of the gray Star -, making the time often one of the best results of the Jugendzeit. Wer sich nach een Solchen Operation ohne Brille bester Sehschärfe erreut, wird die hohe Ehre berechtigten, dem Innovator first spät zuteilwurde: Im February 2000 erhob ihn Queen Elizabeth II. in the nobility. Sir Harold Ridley started a year quickly for 95 years – and with a college implantation of intra-ocular linsen in both August.
