The eye is one of the most important human senses through which a person receives as much as 90% of information from the environment. Timely observation and recognition of the symptoms of the disease is extremely important. Due to the timely detection of the disease, regular ophthalmological examinations are extremely important. In ophthalmology, each medical history must include a personal and family history, as well as information about the current disease. When making a diagnosis, tonometry, physical examination of the eye, gonioscopy, finding of the visual field (perimetry), pachymetry, optical coherence tomography (OCT) are performed. The role of the nurse / technician is important at all levels of health care. As an important member of the team, the nurse teaching the patient can provide satisfactory health care to the patient. When caring for a patient, the nurse participates in ensuring the best social, spiritual, psychological and physical and readiness to detect possible complications. The most important roles of the nurse are the implementation of preventive measures in the healthy population, participation in treatment, diagnosis, and re-preparation of care before surgery, during surgery and after surgery, as well as educating the family and the patient about the situation. Improving the quality of life is also extremely important. Education is a key factor that can lead to a reduction in the number and improvement of the health condition of people with visual impairments. A nurse / medical technician who works at all levels of health care has a significant role in education. This is what points us to the importance of educating nurses about the symptoms and signs of the disease, treatment and prevention methods to reduce the incidence of complications, avoid disability and improve the quality of life of patients.
