Which war inspired the invention of the intraocular lens (IOL)?
(A) World War I (B) World War II (C) Cold War (D) Civil War
Answer: B. World War II inspired the invention of the intraocular lens (IOL). British ophthalmologist Sir Harold Ridley noticed that plastic fragments from plane canopies did not cause inflammation when lodged in pilots' eyes. He had an idea that this inert material could be used to create artificial lenses for treating cataracts. Today, Ridley is rightfully recognized as the "father of the intraocular lens"
