Abstract
Jacques Daviel, a French ophthalmologist, is considered the father of cataract surgery for his revolutionary idea of extracapsular lens extraction technique, which was introduced in the eighteenth century. Prior to his concept, couching was prevalent in the millennia. Sushruta Samhita, a text dated between 800 BC - 1000 BC, has some descriptions of surgical technique with an extraocular expulsion of the lens with a Pars Plana incision/puncture. A proper analysis of Sushruta Samhita and its description of cataract surgery is necessary to understand the significance played by this ancient Indian surgeon in the evolution of present-day ophthalmology and the days of yore.
