Overview of ELISA. ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a plate-based assay technique designed for detecting and quantifying substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies and hormones. Other names, such as enzyme immunoassay (EIA), are also used to describe the same technology.
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.
I've worked as an Ophthalmic nurse for 2 years and I can say I'm happy with it. What we mostly do is like a clinic/outpatient nursing. We do the basic visual acuity tests and then forward it to the Ophthalmologist for a medical diagnosis and for other tests.
