Ophthalmic nursing encompasses many subspecialty nursing skills and areas of knowledge including clinical assessment and triage, pre-operative preparation, surgical intervention, anesthetics, post-operative recovery, instrument cleaning, medical treatment and evaluation, patient education and advocacy, and management.
Before we are able to function as a member of the ophthalmic nursing team, there are particular basic skills which, regardless of our sub-specialty, are important for ensuring effective patient care and for providing a safe work environment for ourselves and our fellow nursing and medical team members.
This module will provide you with the basics to function as a member of the ophthalmic nursing team. After this module you will then be ready to move onto other areas of your practice.
