Specialist lecture on glaucoma: How to drip properly! Look!

Jägerstraße 36, 1200 Wien, Österreich - glaucoma is a serious topic that affects many people. On Thursday, October 23, 2025, an informative event will take place in Vienna, which deals especially with this eye disease and the correct handling of eye drops. Univ. Prof. Dr. med. Univ. Barbara Kiss, an experienced eye surgeon and glaucoma expert, leads through the lecture "Glaucom (green star) and eye drops: How do I drip properly?". This lecture begins at 5 p.m. in the advisory center of the auxiliary community of the blind and weak Austria, which is located in Jägerstraße 36, 1200 Vienna.

It is particularly important that after the lecture, a question and answer session with Prof. Kiss takes place. In this way, interested parties can directly clarify their concerns and questions about glaucoma and the use of eye drops. The specialist lecture is free of charge, but registration is required due to limited number of participants. Interested parties can register on 01/330 35 45-0 or by email to registration@hilfsgemeinschaft.at. And don't worry, the event is barrier -free and easily accessible by public transport.

knowledge transfer on glaucoma

What many do not know: The first use of eye drops can be a challenge, especially for people with limited hand function. This is where the concern of Prof. Kiss comes in, which is not only deputy head of the Glaucomambulance of the University Clinic for ophthalmology and optometry at the Medical University of Vienna, but also has extensive experience in the operational treatment of gray star and glaucoma. Your expertise will certainly help deepen the knowledge of this disease.

The lecture is supplemented by a reconnaissance film "How I really dripped", which was presented at DOG in September 2024. This film has been produced in cooperation with the Federal Association of Glaucom Selbsthilfe e.V. in Dortmund and the Dog Section Glaucom. The association, which was founded in 2001 and has 23 self -help groups in Germany, offers numerous information resources, including multilingual brochures on glaucoma. These are not only available in German, but also in English, Turkish and Arabic.

self -help and information events

The Federal Association also offers regular patient information events via zoom and organizes glaucoma days and children's glaocoma days in various German cities every two years. This underlines the commitment of the association to convey knowledge and interested knowledge and to support them in their questions. The group leader Natascha is available for questions about the self-help group Glaucom Vienna/Austria.
