NLH Eyes & Vision Specialist Library Glaucoma Annual Evidence Update 24 - 30 November 2008
The NLH Eyes & Vision Specialist Library is presenting the 2008 annual evidence update (AEU) on glaucoma from 24 to 30 November.
An annual evidence update is a collection of evidence that has emerged over the past twelve months concerning a particular condition.
For the purposes of this AEU, the term “glaucoma” is used to cover primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Ocular hypertension is also included here as it is a strong risk factor for developing glaucoma.
The evidence is presented through a number of topics reflecting the care pathway and has been categorised into secondary publications (systematic reviews and meta analyses), interventional studies (randomised control trials and clinical control trials) and observational studies.
Topics include:
Epidemiology
Screening
Medical management
Optic disc imaging - diagnosis and disease monitoring
Assessment of visual field progression
Patient education
Living with glaucoma and low vision services
