摘　　要：This editorial in response to the published article titled“Changes in corneal curvature and aberrations after cataract surgery”by Dai,Ruan,and Wang et al.(1)is to reflect back on the evolution of cataract surgery.We started with the basic procedure of‘couching’to restore vision in blind eyes caused by mature or hypermature cataracts(2).Next came the procedure of‘intra-capsular cataract removal’with 180°corneo-scleral incision using von-Graefe’s knife,initially without any suture closure of the wound that followed by suturing the wound.Aphakic corrective glasses would suffice to restore‘functional vision’in those early days of cataract surgery.
