	Harold Ridley (ophthalmologist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He had a lens manufactured using an identical plastic - Perspex CQ made by ICI - and on 29 November 1949 at St Thomas' Hospital, Harold Ridley achieved the first implant of an intraocular lens, although it was not until 1950 that he left an artificial lens permanently in place in an eye.
		Ridley went on to develop comprehensive programmes for cataract surgery with intraocular implants and pioneered this treatment in the face of prolonged strong opposition from the medical community.
		Harold Ridley also led important research into onchocerciasis when he was stationed in Ghana during World War II.

	JCRS: Vol. 25, No. 11, November 1999
		There is no question that many eyes were sacrificed, in a sense, for the purpose of progress, but this follows the general principle of surgery that each patient benefits from the fraction of knowledge gained through the experience of surgery on his or her predecessors.
		Harold Ridley should be credited for more than the introduction of IOL implantation, for inadvertently he stimulated many creative thinkers in ophthalmic private practice to add more pieces to the jigsaw of ophthalmic comprehension than would otherwise have been the case.
		On the 50th anniversary of the first IOL implantation, it is proper that we recognize Harold Ridley's contribution in this way, albeit aided by the social, economic, and technologic changes of the past half century.
