Prof. Dr Josef Flammer Receives 2018 Fankhauser Award
Internationally acknowledged as a leading researcher on glaucoma and our guest author, Dr Josef Flammer was awarded the 2018 Fankhauser award. We offer our heartiest congratulations to Prof Flammer for another feather in his cap.
Prof. Josef Flammer dedicated his
career to studying the role of blood flow in glaucoma patients. This led
him to the discovery of primary vascular dysregulation (PVD) and the
Flammer syndrome, which suggest that ocular blood flow abnormalities
predispose patients to glaucomatous damage. To honor his work and his
contribution to our current understanding of glaucoma, he was awarded
the 2018 Fankhauser prize. During the award ceremony, Prof. Flammer
discussed his scientific journey, starting with the patient that sparked
his interest in studying the connection between blood flow and
glaucoma.
