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.
1 An ophthalmologist is a medical or osteopathic physician who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the eyes and the prevention of eye disease. 2  An ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats refractive, medical, and surgical problems related to eye diseases and disorders. Many ophthalmologists are also involved in scientific research into the causes of, and cures for, eye diseases and vision problems. 2  In addition to four years of medical school and one year of internship, all ophthalmologists spend a minimum of three years of residency (hospital-based training) in ophthalmology.
