Professionals

The Glaucoma NZ online Education Programme provides an opportunity for eye health professionals to maintain their competence in diagnosing and treating glaucoma. Participation is available to any health professional.

The 2024 programme is closed. New programme content will be available from the end of February 2025.

The programme consists of 4 cases containing a combination of patient history, clinical examination findings, optic nerve photographs, visual field test results, optical coherence tomography scans, and other relevant clinical information. Each case includes the required reading and is attached as a pdf document. There are questions and answers for self-directed learning, followed by a web-based examination comprised of 25 multi-choice and true/false questions. Three attempts are allowed to achieve the 70% pass.
