This book is ideal for ophthalmic nurses, healthcare professionals specialising in eye care, and clinical educators seeking authoritative, evidence-based guidance to enhance practice and patient outcomes.

Book Hero thinking about your next read

The objective of this book is to provide an evidence base for ophthalmic nursing practice. There are areas of practice where little evidence exists, in those areas, the book aims to provide reasoned guidelines from an informed source, thus negating the need for every ophthalmic practice area to develop diverse often contradictory guidelines.
