  • Title: The nurse's role in helping patients cope with sight loss.
    Author: Browne M.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 99(48):30-2. PubMed ID: 14705546.
    Abstract:
    Patients with sight loss often have additional nursing and care needs. Nursing staff should be familiar with the common causes of sight loss and their treatment. To help patients come to terms with the distress of losing their eyesight, nursing staff should be aware of the implications of sight loss for patients and, where appropriate, refer them to the relevant support worker, such as an eye clinic liaison officer.
