[Cataract surgeries in 1820-1900].
This work tries to present the evolution of the opinions on cataract and the methods of its therapy in Warsaw and Galician research centres in the period of 1820-1900. A lot of attention has been paid mainly to the methods of cataract operation, the ways of preparing the patient for surgery, intra- and postoperating complications, the methods of dressing the wound after operation. This study has been based on historical literature and on such papers like "Gazeta Lekarska" ("Medical Newspaper"), "Tygodnik Lekarski" ("Medical Weekly") and other similar documents as well as on the "Lecture about the diseases of the visual organ in human being" by Prof. Szokalski written in 1869.
