Why Wichterle edition? On today's date at 1913, the inventor of
soft contact lens was born. His story is full of surprises: he
used kids toy set to construct first Spin Casting Machine; Czech
regime sold the patent to US company for couple of bucks because
they did not want to allow traveling of this scientist to US to
defend the patent. And Otto Wichterle spent most of his life as
regular scientist without any glory because he signed petition
against a regime.
