With the rising incidence of AIDS in the United States, a larger number of patients with HIV-related infectious and noninfectious ocular conditions will inevitably occur. This necessitates that ophthalmic nurses have knowledge of HIV disease; resultant ophthalmic manifestations; treatment protocols, including unapproved therapies; community resources for persons with vision loss; social issues related to HIV; psychologic responses to the disease; and associated losses for patients and their families. This knowledge base will enable the nurse to recognize disease earlier, to educate patients and their families, to administer treatment, and to provide support to a population in critical need of nursing interventions.
随着美国艾滋病发病率的上升，不可避免地会出现更多患有与HIV相关的感染性和非感染性眼部疾病的患者。这就要求眼科护士了解HIV疾病；由此产生的眼部表现；治疗方案，包括未经批准的疗法；视力丧失者的社区资源；与HIV相关的社会问题；对该疾病的心理反应；以及患者及其家庭的相关损失。这一知识基础将使护士能够更早地识别疾病，教育患者及其家庭，实施治疗，并为迫切需要护理干预的人群提供支持。
