Dr. Gabor Scharioth

There is a technique in eye surgery in which parts of lens implants are directly placed into the wall of the eye. Typically, this is not how lens implants are placed. However, this technique can be helpful in certain complicated eye situations. I recently learned that one of the first doctors to describe this technique is a German ophthalmologist named Gabor Scharioth. Previously, I had not known that this was one of his contributions and that he may well be considered the “father” or “pioneer” of this technique by many. Thank you for your contribution, Dr. Scharioth!
