A systematic literature search was supported by Duodecim's Current Care Guidelines team, the Cochrane Eyes and Vision US project and European Glaucoma Society. The evidence was graded following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Working Group Guideline, GRADE (Guyatt et al., 2008 ). In Current Care Guidelines, grade A represents high quality of evidence, B moderate quality, C low quality and D very low quality of evidence. The Current Care Guideline process description is available online (Guideline process description, 2022 ). The applicability of results of the study population was considered, especially when evidence from the Finnish population was not available.
