Thread. Sushruta in 600 BC described what may have been the 1st cataract surgery in India. This undated image depicts 'couching' which involved taking a curved needle & pushing the lens into the rear of the eye & out of the field of vision. #Opthalmology #VintageSurgery cont. 1/3
Love these bizarre 16th Century medical illustrations of eye diseases and surgery by Georg Bartisch. Caused by witchcraft ...... apparently! 👹
