Abstract
Charles Kelman (1930-2004), a Brooklyn New Yorker, introduced phacoemulsification in 1967 after being inspired by his dentist’s ultrasonic probe. No one at that time knew how this discovery would revolutionize cataract surgery in the times to come. One of the greatest advantages of this technique lies in the small size of the surgical wound. The race for the decreasing millimeters really took off soon after the popularisation of the technique especially with the introduction of foldable IOL’s at the end of the 1980’s.
