June is Cataract Awareness Month. The late Charles D. Kelman, M.D., clinical professor of ophthalmology, was awarded the 2004 Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research for revolutionizing cataract surgery by devising a noninvasive outpatient procedure that replaced an operation that sometimes required a 10-day hospital stay. With a jury making an exception to the rules to allow the award to be given posthumously, Dr. Kelman, who died on June 1, 2004, was the first person to receive the award after death.
