Ophthalmic Care

Janet Marsden

Description

Written by an international team of ophthalmic practitioners, this authoritative book is a vital resource not only for ophthalmic professionals, but for any healthcare professional who cares for patients with eye problems.In the ten years since the first edition was published, practice has moved on, as has the evidence for practice. This second edition draws on the passion and goodwill of the original team of authors, complemented by other colleagues, to fully revise and update the text in line with new findings, new practice and new and exciting treatments.The book is broadly divided into three sections. The first section considers the structure and function of the eye, as well as the basic principles of ophthalmology and eye examination. The second section considers patient care in diverse settings, as well as work-related issues and patient education. It also includes two entirely new chapters on eye banking and global eye health. The third section takes a systematic approach to patient care, working from the front to the back of the eye, discussing some of the common disorders affecting each structure (such as the lens or cornea) or group of structures (such as the eyelids or lacrimal drainage system). The book concludes with a very useful glossary of ophthalmic terms.Some aspects of practice discussed in the text are, of necessity, UK based, but these are clearly indicated and, wherever possible, principles (rather than specifics) are addressed and readers are directed to local policies and interpretations. The first edition of this book became a core text for ophthalmic nursing, in particular, and for the education of ophthalmic nurses across the world. This new edition will provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, evidence-based resource for all ophthalmic healthcare professionals.

Preface
The original concept of this book arose out of a recognition by ophthalmic nurses that, in general, existing textbooks for nurses working in the specialty did not have the depth of content required to inform and evidence their practice. This book was therefore designed to meet the needs of ophthalmic professionals and, most especially, ophthalmic nurses, whose practice has expanded exponentially over the past few years, into areas we would never previously have dreamed possible. This expansion, though, has often been accompanied by a lack of accessible evidence to underpin it and this book aims to bridge that gap.
It was written by an international team of ophthalmic practitioners, all experts in their fields, who gave up a large amount of time, immensely willingly, to make this dream a reality because of their passion for, and dedication to, their area of practice.
In the ten years since the first edition, practice has moved on, as has the evidence for practice.
This second edition draws on the passion and goodwill of the original team, complemented by other colleagues, to fully revise and update the text in line with new findings, new practice and new and exciting treatments.
It is hoped that the book combines depth and breadth of content, but does this in an accessible manner which enables it to be used as a comprehensive resource not just by ophthalmic professionals, but by any healthcare professional who ever cares for a patient with an eye problem, thus enabling them to develop the knowledge and skills to incorporate consideration of their patients’ eye problems into their practice.
The book is divided into three parts. The first section considers some general aspects relating to the understanding of the function and structure of the eye. The first two chapters cover the physiology of vision including embryology (in order to give an overview of how we see), and basic optics as applied to the eye. This section goes on to consider how drugs affect the eye and the main categories of ophthalmic drugs and delivery systems as well as some of the adverse effects of systemic and ophthalmic drugs. The eye examination chapter considers the requirements for effective assessment of the patient, including physical surroundings, taking a history and obtaining accurate visual acuity. It stresses the need for systematic eye examination and considers both the structures that may be examined and what the examiner should be looking for.
The second section of the book considers issues surrounding patient care. It begins by considering visual impairment, its effects on the patient and strategies that may be used both by the patient, and by carers and health professionals
