Annual Evidence Update on Glaucoma: 24-28 November 2008

An update of the evidence on this topic from the NLH Eyes and Vision Specialist Library.

The Glaucoma Annual Evidence Update will present a collection of evidence that has emerged in the 12 months since last year's update.

The term “glaucoma” for the purposes of the update is used to cover primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Ocular hypertension will also be included, as it is a strong risk factor for developing glaucoma. Angle closure glaucoma, paediatric glaucoma and the secondary glaucomas will not be included in this update.

The evidence will be categorised into secondary publications (systematic reviews and meta analyses), interventional studies (randomised control trials and clinical control trials) and observational studies.
