Grandes aportaciones al desarrollo de la medicina se han debido a hechos fortuitos. En la oftalmología, por ejemplo, el efecto de un eclipse de sol fue la idea inicial de la endofotocoagulación; un aparato dental dio lugar a la facoemulsificación; el comentario de un estudiante de medicina despertó la idea de los lentes intraoculares. Pero, como dijo Pasteur: «Dans les champs de l&#8217;observation, le hasard ne favorise que les esprits préparés» (en el campo de la observación, la fortuna solo favorece a los espíritus preparados). Se presentan aquí algunos personajes y sus principales aportaciones al desarrollo de la oftalmología, esperando que su ejemplo sirva para despertar o avivar el interés por la investigación.]]></p></abstract>
