Cataract surgery: Some experts call the surgery to restore vision lost to cataracts one of the most successful medical treatments ever. Couching, the oldest method to treat a cataract, involved dislodging it out of the visual axis with a needle. The procedure, which restored limited but unfocused vision, dates back to 5th century B.C. The first modern cataract surgery to involve anesthesia took place in Paris in 1748.
