Intravitreal injections (injections into the eye) are a new form of
treatment for various conditions such as age-related macular
degeneration, diabetic eye disease and vascular eye problems. The
use of these injections has become so widespread that most
departments around the world (and particularly in the U.K) do not
have enough doctors to meet the service provision demands of an
ever increasing number of patients. Many departments have trialed
training ophthalmic nurse practitioners as a solution and the
number of such specifically trained nurses is set to rise
exponentially in the future. This book is meant to be an easy to
carry A5 handbook detailing all that an ophthalmic nurse
practitioner needs to know about performing the procedure. It is
hoped that the book will also be of benefit to trainee
ophthalmologists learning the procedure.As this is an emerging area
of expertise in ophthalmology, currently there exists no other
books on the topic. The readers will benefit from having a single
resource detailing all that they need to know about the procedure.
This means that nurses will not have to cross reference multiple
complicated ophthalmic textbooks. As an A5 handbook, it will be
easy to carry and reference in clinics. It is deliberately meant to
be concise (around 100 pages), thus concentrating only on the core
knowledge required.
