Who Invented Corneal Inlay?

Jose Barraquer created the first corneal inlay prototype in 1949 in Barcelona, Spain. The flint glass material which he used, however, was found to be unsuitable because of biocompatibility issues. Other transparent, permeable materials were tested, including hydrogel polymers in the 1960s.

What is Kamra corneal inlay?
