Learning Objectives
Identify the data to be collected in the nursing assessment
of the eye and vision. Identify the nursing responsibilities for patients having diagnostic
tests or procedures to diagnose eye disorders. List measures to reduce the risk of eye injuries.
Describe the nursing care of patients who require commontherapeutic measures for eye disorders: irrigation,
application of ophthalmic drugs, and surgery. Describe the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis,
and treatment of selected eye conditions. Assist in developing a nursing care plan for the patient
with an eye disorder.

Visual Pathway
Light enters eye, passes through transparent cornea, aqueoushumor, lens, and vitreous humor These structures are called refractive media
Refract (bend) horizontal and vertical light rays so that the light raysfocus on the retina
On retina, light rays are reversed and upside down Images carried as impulses through the optic nerve
At optic chiasm, fibers from the left field from each eye join to formthe left optic tract
Fibers from right field of eye join to form right optic tract
Images transmitted to the brain by way of the optic tracts

Age-Related Changes in the Eye
Skin around the eye becomes wrinkled and loose
Eyelids usually have some excess tissue; not important unless itinterferes with vision
The amount of fat around the eye decreases, permitting theeyeball to sink deeper into the orbit
Tear secretion diminishes; cornea less sensitive
Grayish ring may be around the outer margin of the iris
Pupil smaller and responds more slowly to light
Presbyopia: ability to focus is impaired

their eyes examined every 3 to 5 years
After the age of 40, examinations every 2 years andshould include testing for glaucoma
When there are symptoms of eye problems, patients
should seek medical advice

Effect of Visual Impairment
Mild losses may require only some adaptations
Serious losses affect independence, mobility,
employment, and interpersonal relationships
People grieve for the lost function just as they mightgrieve after the death of a loved one
Factors that affect a persons response to this loss
include personality, usual coping style, effect of vision
loss on the persons life, and the circumstances of the
loss

Use sterile cotton swab to touch object gently If object not embedded, it usually clings to swab and can
be removed
If object is embedded, it should be removed only by a
physician

Corneal Opacity
Inflammation and infection
When cornea injured by infection or trauma, scar tissue may
form
If scar tissue prevents light from entering the eye, varying
degrees of vision impairment occur Only treatment is keratoplasty (removal of the scarred cornea
and replacement with a healthy cornea)
During keratoplasty, damaged cornea removed first
An identically sized graft then taken from the donor eye and
secured to the recipients eye with very fine suture

50Elsevier items and derived items 2007 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier, Inc.
Myopia
The medical term for nearsightedness
The lens is situated too far from the retina
Light rays come together to focus in front of the
retina People with myopia have difficulty seeing
distant images clearly
New glasses needed approximately every 2
years
-

objects
Convex corrective lenses needed

Presbyopia
Poor accommodation due to loss of elasticity of
the ciliary muscles
Accommodation: adjustment of the lens for near and
distant vision
Contraction or relaxation of the ciliary muscles, which
causes the lens to change shape
It most often develops after age 40 years
Corrective lenses are needed

Pathophysiology Intraocular pressure is above normal
Caused by interference with outflow of aqueoushumor
Although glaucoma may follow trauma, exact causeis often unknown
Peripheral vision is lost first
Field of vision gradually narrows until tunnel vision
Complete blindness eventually occurs

Types of Glaucoma
Open-angle glaucoma Prevents the normal passage of aqueous humor through the
trabecular meshwork
Usually there are no signs and symptoms at first
Tired eyes, blurred vision, and halos around lights
Need for frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
Treated first with drug therapy Beta-adrenergic blockers, adrenergics, cholinergics, carbonic
anhydrase inhibitors, and hyperosmotic agents
Surgical procedures: trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, and
cyclocryotherapy

Glaucoma
Angle-closure glaucoma Flow of aqueous humor through the pupil is blocked
Pressure forces iris forward; blocks trabecular meshwork
Rapid rise in intraocular pressure; if not lowered promptly,permanent blindness can result
Signs and symptoms: sudden, acute pain; blurred vision,halos around lights, nausea and vomiting, and headache onthe affected side
Drugs for treatment: miotics and oral or intravenous carbonicanhydrase inhibitors
After pressure lowered, iridotomy or iridectomy usuallyrecommended to prevent recurrence

Retinal Detachment
Pathophysiology Separation of sensory layer from pigmented layer
Begins when a tear in the retina allows fluid to collect between
the sensory and the pigmented layers
The fluid causes the two layers to separate Separation deprives sensory layers of nutrients and oxygen that
normally are supplied by the blood vessels in the choroid
Leads to damage to the nerve tissue in the sensory layer and
resultant partial or complete loss of vision
Retinal tears may occur spontaneously or as a result oftrauma

Retinal Detachment
Signs and symptoms
Depend on location and extent of detachment
Patients report seeing light flashes or floaters
Vision may be cloudy If area of detachment is large, vision may be lost
completely
Some patients say it seems as if a curtain has come
down or across the line of vision

Retinal Detachment
Nursing care Before corrective measures, the patient usually is placed on
strict bed rest with the head elevated
Postoperative care essentially the same as for other patients
undergoing eye surgery Positioning orders may be specific for these patients
Surgeon prescribes activity limitations; length of hospitalization
depends on location and severity of the tear, the type of repair,
and the surgeons routines

Senile Macular Degeneration
Changes in the eye cause the macula to degenerate Both eyes usually affected
Two types
Dry (strophic) Abnormal blood vessels develop in or near the macula resulting
in loss of vision in a specific area Wet (exudative)
Central vision gets gradually worse
Special telescopic lenses may be helpful
Laser treatments may offer hope to some patients
Nurse needs to help the patient and family members learn to copewith declining vision

Enucleation
Removal of the eye
From injury, infection, sympathetic ophthalmia, and
some glaucomas and malignancies
Postoperative observe for excessive bleeding or
increasing pain Report any temperature elevation
After pressure dressing removed, physician may order wound
care and topical medications
Approximately 1 month after the enucleation, a prosthesis canbe fitted by an optician
