Ophthalmology is a field where the right answer lives three layers down. It’s rarely just “treat glaucoma." It’s which target pressure, for which optic nerve, given which visual field trend, in a patient who can’t tolerate first-line drops.

To help navigate that clinical complexity, the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s (AAO) Preferred Practice Patterns are now integrated into OpenEvidence.

What this means for your workflow:

• Subspecialty Judgment: Decades of authoritative guidance from the world’s largest eye physician and surgeon association is now instantly searchable.
• Cohesive Search: The Academy's guidelines sit right alongside the broader, peer-reviewed literature.
• Point-of-Care Utility: When you ask a clinical question, the AAO guidance is baked directly into the answer, with every single claim cited back to the exact source.

Link to the official announcement is in the comments. Let us know if you've had a chance to test it out yet.

We will be there at booth 18140, answering questions, giving demos and saying hi.

More than a third of U.S. counties are maternity care deserts. The clinicians fielding women’s health questions in those communities are often family physicians and primary care doctors, working hours from the nearest OB-GYN.

Starting today, ACOG's clinical guidance, seven decades of it, is available directly through OpenEvidence. A family physician in a maternity care desert now opens the same library as a colleague at a major academic OB-GYN department.

ACOG will also use the resulting insights to focus future guideline development and educational efforts where clinicians need them most.
