One of the most crucial aspects to our patients care that remains unchanged is the hands-on knowledge and skills of quality nursing care. Just as human physicians rely on the skills of their nursing teams, so it is with veterinary ophthalmologists relying on their nursing staff’s skills to help in recognition of disease, handling of our patients compassionately and safely, aiding in treatment and overall care, and excellent client communication.
