Albrecht von Graefe (1828-1870) is the founder of this archive (1854) and the founder of modern ophthalmology. In 2020, the anniversary of his death will be observed for the 150th time. The "German Ophthalmological Society" (DOG), also a Graefe foundation (1857), has therefore proclaimed a "Graefe year." In Berlin, his hometown, several Graefe-monuments exist. Ophthalmology owes Albrecht von Graefe numerous first discoveries such as excavation of the optic disc in glaucoma (1855), iridectomy in glaucoma (1857), or central artery occlusion (1859). But his after-effects are not only based on his clinical and scientific merits but also on his extraordinary, fascinating personality, which can be characterized by his spirit of internationality, friendship, self-criticism, love of truth, and modesty. Graefe became a myth not only because of his early death but also because he had apart from great successes, to accept human misfortunes at the same time. Albrecht von Graefe can be regarded as the conscience of ophthalmology in Germany.

阿尔布雷希特·冯·格雷夫 (Albrecht von Graefe) 的现在、过去和未来。

阿尔布雷希特·冯·格雷夫 (Albrecht von Graefe) (1828-1870) 是该档案馆 (1854) 的创始人，也是现代眼科学的创始人。2020 年，将迎来他逝世 150 周年。“德国眼科学会”（DOG），也是 Graefe 基金会（1857 年），因此宣布了“Graefe 年”。在他的家乡柏林，有几座 Graefe 纪念碑。眼科归功于阿尔布雷希特·冯·格雷夫 (Albrecht von Graefe) 的众多首次发现，例如在青光眼中挖掘视盘 (1855)、在青光眼中进行虹膜切除术 (1857) 或中央动脉闭塞 (1859)。但他的后遗症不仅基于他的临床和科学价值，还基于他非凡的、迷人的个性，其特点是他的国际精神、友谊、自我批评、热爱真理和谦虚。格雷夫成为一个神话，不仅因为他早逝，还因为他在取得巨大成功的同时，也接受了人类的不幸。Albrecht von Graefe 堪称德国眼科的良心。
