Reviews

"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, OSN Chief Medical Editor, Minneapolis, MN, Ocular Surgery News, November 1, 2006
