"It is interesting that while in Hindu medicine, cataract was defined by Susruta as opacity due to derangement of the intraocular fluid, subsequent history is full of fantasies and prejudices concerning its nature."
Duke Elder[1]
"All in all Susruta must be considered the greatest surgeon of the pre medieval period."
A.O. Whipple[2]
