Abstract:
Anticipation of retinal surgery and fear of permanent vision loss can be stressful for patients. When patients first are diagnosed with retinal problems and informed that ocular surgery is required, they may not be psychologically or emotionally ready to absorb the information needed to prepare them for the postoperative recovery phase. Perioperative nurses have an opportunity to affect patient outcomes by providing information to patients before, during, and after surgery. Well-educated patients have the necessary knowledge to maximize compliance and afford themselves an optimal surgical outcome.
