Nurse educators--a link to community ophthalmic care.
Ophthalmic nurses can do much in providing community education to various groups of people. A background in patient education and broad knowledge of ophthalmology allows nurses to be ideally suited for community education. This interaction can benefit both the community and the nursing profession. Nurses can use their abilities to interact outside of a traditional setting and to provide valuable ophthalmic information to the public.
