Setting standards for glaucoma care

The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published guidelines on the diagnosis and management of open-angle glaucoma in 2009 (www.nice.org.uk/CG85). These are intended to set standards for practice in the UK's National Health Service (NHS)As these guidelines are the only strictly evidence-based glaucoma guidelines available, however, they are a resource that can be accessed and used globally.
