Although no one really knows when the first eye surgery was performed, we do know that it was done at least as long ago as 1790 BC when the Code of Hammurabi was created. Of particular note is that there was not a lot of incentive to perform eye surgery as (according to the code) a successful eye surgery paid two to ten shekels (depending on whether the patient was or had ever been a slave). However, if the patient lost the eye or the patient died the surgeon was punished by having his hands cut off.
