This guideline covers managing and monitoring diabetic retinopathy in people under the care of hospital eye services. This includes non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular oedema.
Insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa (HTG372)
Evidence-based recommendations on insertion of an epiretinal prosthesis for retinitis pigmentosa. This involves inserting an implant into the eye that receives data from a small camera on the person's glasses and then stimulates healthy cells in the retina to see basic images.
Evidence-based recommendations on intraocular lens insertion for correction of refractive error, with preservation of the natural lens. This involves inserting an artificial lens inserted into the eye through a small cut made in the cornea.

Limited macular translocation for wet age-related macular degeneration (HTG215)
Evidence-based recommendations on limited macular translocation for wet age related macular degeneration. This involves cutting and moving the macula on an a nearby healthier area of the retina.
Arteriovenous crossing sheathotomy for branch retinal vein occlusion (HTG211)
Evidence-based recommendations on arteriovenous crossing sheathotomy for branch retinal vein occlusion. This involves cutting the sheath around the vessels and physically separating them where they cross to improve blood flow through the vein.

This guideline covers managing cataracts in adults aged 18 and over. It aims to improve care before, during and after cataract surgery by optimising service organisation, referral and surgical management, and reducing complications. It further aims to improve the availability of information for people with cataracts before, during and after cataract surgery.
Evidence-based recommendations on ranibizumab (Lucentis) for treating visual impairment caused by macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion in adults.
Evidence-based recommendations on aflibercept (Eylea) for treating sight problems caused by macular oedema from central retinal vein occlusion in adults.
Ranibizumab for treating choroidal neovascularisation associated with pathological myopia (TA298)
Evidence-based recommendations on ranibizumab (Lucentis) for treating choroidal neovascularisation associated with pathological myopia in adults.
YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters (HTG644)
Evidence-based recommendations on YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters. This involves a special type of laser (YAG) firing short pulses of energy into the floaters, to break them up (vitreolysis) and reduce sight disturbances.
