José Ignacio Barraquer Moner (24 January 1916 – 13 February 1998) was a Spanish ophthalmologist and inventor born in Barcelona[1] who did most of his life's work in Bogotá, Colombia.
His original pioneering investigations on corneal transplants and correction of corneal refraction led him to be designated as “Father of modern Refractive Surgery”.[2] His ophthalmological surgical techniques and inventions are now in routine use by the ophthalmic community.[3]
