"There is a place for Ridley's Story on the history shelf of any
library and in the collection of ophthalmologists everywhere." --
Suzanne M. Schultz, MA, Doody's Book Review ..".the book pays
rightful homage to the man who changed cataract surgery forever.
But the book is much more than a biography. Throughout his book,
Apple devotes many words to the history and future of
ophthalmology, a history that shaped Ridley's vision and a future
that he helped to create." -- From Eurotimes, London, 2006, Paul
McGinn "This revolutionary advance in medicine is the result of the
determination of the late Sir Harold Ridley. His resolution has
already saved the sight of over 200 million people worldwide, a
figure that increases annually by nine million." -- From The Times
Newspapers Limited, 22 September 2006, Dr. Thomas Stufford "Now, 57
years after his significant medical breakthrough, his achievements
have been commemorated by noted ophthalmologist, Dr. David J.
Apple." -- From History Today, September 20, 2006, Charlie Cottrell
"Dr. Apple shares with us 22 years of in-depth research and 7 years
of writing and editing. This has resulted in a book that can only
be considered a masterpiece. In 19 tightly written chapters, with
extraordinary historical illustrations we are told the fascinating
story of Sir Harold Ridley's development of the first IOL implant.
I found this book a very entertaining and compelling read. There is
no doubt that this is a must-read for the ophthalmologist who
performs cataract surgery and lens implantation. David J. Apple, MD
has compiled history in a way that will educate and entertain
readers for many generations to come." -- Richard L. Lindstrom, MD,
