Otto Wichterle (1913-1998)
A Czech chemist who specialized in plastics, developed the soft contact lens (firstly in his kitchen, using the motor from
an old phonograph and a children's building kit.) He was a prestigious scientist, but in 1958 Czech authorities dismissed
him from his deanship at the Institute for Chemical Technology in Prague. The Czech government sold the rights to Americans
for a few hundred thousand dollars. Wichterle remained unrecompensed, despite the fact that more than 100 million people worldwide
wear soft contacts.
