Janet Marsden describes the various eye drops and ointments commonly used in A&E
Ophthalmic patients present to the A&E department with a wide range of problems; their treatment, however, generally involves a small range of ophthalmic medications. Ultimately, patients’ compliance with treatment – and the course of their illness or condition – often depends on the information given to them, and the knowledge and skills of the A&E nurse. It is hoped this article will add to the knowledge base of A&E nurses as a further enabler towards the continued goal of excellence in practice.
