The sections new or updated in this year’s version are:
- Guideline committee and scope
- Methodology
- Case-finding, diagnosis and monitoring
- Service models
- Prognostic risk tools
- Treatment of ocular hypertension, suspected chronic open-angle glaucoma and chronic openangle glaucoma
All other sections and recommendations for the 2009 guideline remain unchanged.
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ Scientific Committee will be co-ordinating a response to the consultation, and the full draft guidelines are available to view online via the NICE website.
