If medication and laser techniques have no prospect of success in the treatment of glaucoma, surgery is essential to stop further damage to the optic nerve. A new surgical method is showing promising results for reducing the potential complications of an operation. Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Franz Grehn, former Director of Würzburg University Eye Hospital, has developed the new method and produced a video to accompany a clinical comparison study. This film was awarded the Video Award 2013 sponsored by Leica Microsystems at the 111th Congress of the German Ophthalmological Society.
