I've been doing a bit of reading about how lasers came to be realised as a tool for the multitude of applications it is used for.
As retinal specialists, we use lasers all the time - in clinics and in the operating theatre.
We've all read about the introduction of opthalmic lasers, but ever wondered where lasers originated...
The clue is Albert Einstein of e=mc2 fame. Besides the theory of relativity, he has many other great ideas to his name. Einstein predicted lasers in 1917!
