Consensus updates diagnosis and treatment for normal tension glaucoma, highlighting new evidence and clinical guidelines.
The prevalence of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) in China stands at 1%. The inappropriate demarcation of normal intraocular pressure values may lead to misdiagnosis. The Glaucoma Group of Ophthalmology Branch of Chinese Medical Association released the consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of NTG in 2019, which established important clinical guidelines for the NTG management. Since significant research advances have been made regarding NTG in recent years, the Glaucoma Group of Ophthalmology Branch of Chinese Medical Association, in collaboration with the Glaucoma group of Chinese Ophthalmologist Association, has developed updated evidence-based consensus recommendations through comprehensive expert discussions. This new consensus on the NTG diagnosis and treatment principles aims to serve as a practical reference for clinicians.
