Ophthalmology nurses or ophthalmic nurses are registered nurses who specialize in providing treatment for patients with eye disorders or who have undergone eye surgery. Ophthalmology nurses typically work in the office of ophthalmologists and outpatient surgical centers.
Ophthalmology is a medical specialty covering all aspects of eye health, while optometry is a limited non-physician health care profession related to correcting vision problems and diagnosing and treating many eye conditions, according to the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
