Glaucoma.

The scope of this NICE guideline on diagnosing and managing chronic open-angle glaucoma has been extended to cover referral. This includes the most effective service models for referral-filtering schemes (repeat measures, enhanced case finding and referral refinement), the tests to be used for finding people with chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG), suspected chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT), and thresholds for onward referral. We have also updated the guidance on tests for diagnosis and reassessment, pharmacological treatments for lowering intraocular pressure and preserving visual field and reassessment intervals, which depend on prognosis.
