Total cataract patient care encompasses nursing assessment, clinical management, emotional support, and the accessibility of the nurse to the patient. Because ophthalmic nurses develop a close relationship with the cataract patient, they are often the first health care professional the patient calls for advice. Patient education and adequate time to listen and respond are integral components in an outpatient cataract surgical approach. All aspects of the nursing care of the cataract patient provide challenge and satisfaction as the ophthalmic registered nurse experiences surgery with the patient and supervises the return to improved vision and quality of life. The nurse must always remember that there is a whole person attached to the eye. Although ophthalmic nursing is specialized and highly technical, patience, empathy, and encouragement are essential in the care of the patient before, during, and after cataract surgery.
白内障患者的全面护理包括护理评估、临床管理、情感支持以及护士对患者的可及性。由于眼科护士与白内障患者建立了密切的关系，他们常常是患者寻求建议时首先联系的医疗保健专业人员。患者教育以及有足够的时间倾听和回应是门诊白内障手术方法的重要组成部分。当眼科注册护士与患者一同经历手术并监督患者恢复视力和提高生活质量时，白内障患者护理的各个方面都带来了挑战和满足感。护士必须始终牢记，眼睛的背后是一个完整的人。尽管眼科护理是专业性很强的高技术工作，但耐心、同理心和鼓励在白内障手术前、手术中和手术后的患者护理中至关重要。
