Objective: Methods of evidence-based medicine were used to make an individualized treatment plan concerning newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma patient. Methods: After clinical problems were put forward, evidence was collected from Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), PubMed (1990 -2009), MEDLINE (1990-2009), EMbase (1990-2009), CBM (1990-2009), and CNKI (1990-2009) according to the search strategy. Subject words were open-angle glaucoma, timolol, latanoprost, trabeculectomy, intraocular pressure, randomized controlled trials, human, meta-analysis, systematic review. Results: A total of 221 randomized controlled trials, and 19 systematic reviews were identified. A rational treatment plan was made upon a serious evaluation of the data. After one year follow-up, the plan was proved optimal. Conclusion: The treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma has been improved by determining an individualized treatment plan according to evidence-based methods.
