The 2nd edition of Ophthalmic Nursing incorporates recent changes and developments within opthalmic nursing practice. Now that there seems to be less time in which to assess patients pre-operatively, it is even more important to have and use the succinct assessment skills illustrated in this thoroughly revised text. Reflecting progress not only within the ophthalmic setting but also in the context of nursing practice, this book provides the nurse with a sound knowledge base from which to practice high-quality care. Trauma is highlighted in a new key chapter, and nursing procedures are expanded to include contemporary skills needed for professional practice. This book will be an essential reference for research, reflective practice and standard-setting for students, graduates and practising nurses.
