Ophthalmic Nurse Resume
There are several types of diseases that affect the vision of eyes. They could either be from birth, due to some accidents, carrying a gene, and related with the age. Some of the common problems associated with eyes are cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and trauma. Patients with eye problems are treated by ophthalmologists, who are helped in the treatment by ophthalmic nurses. These nurses work in ambulatory surgery centers, opthalmology clinics, hospitals, and organizations that provide treatment to visually-impaired people.
Pursuing an opthalmic nurse career is a better option given the increase in the baby boomer population. Besides, continuous exposure to pollution and accidents are also adding to the demand of opthalmic services. If you specialize in treating and nursing people with eye problems, this sample resume is for you.
