LOCSU has refreshed the Glaucoma pathway and relating resources for the delivery of enhanced Glaucoma care in Primary care Optometry.
The integrated care pathway provides for referral filtering and monitoring and aims to alleviate pressures on hospital glaucoma services and provide care closer to home.
Whilst people with low risk of developing glaucoma can avoid referral to the hospital eye service, others with a diagnosis but low risk of progression, can be appropriately monitored in optical practice.
