Glaucoma Care Plan and Role of Social Service, Health Informatics, Nurses Together with the Ophthalmology Team and their Impact on Patient

Abstract

The condition known as glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness that cannot be reversed. If the necessary diagnostic testing and therapy are administered, glaucomatous visual loss can be avoided through prevention. In order to ensure that glaucoma diagnosis and treatment are successful, ophthalmic nurses play a significant role throughout the process. Through the use of adequate theoretical knowledge and practical training, this service evaluation reveals how nurse practitioners, social service workers, and health informaticists can gain the skills necessary to achieve a high level of agreement in patient assessment and care for patients who are suspected of having glaucoma.
