Impact of nursing interventions on the prevention of ocular surface disorders in critical care patients: A systematic review.

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are at an increased risk of ocular surface injuries because of various factors such as reduced tear production and impaired protective mechanisms. Despite the significance of ocular care in ICU settings, there is a lack of consensus on effective interventions, leading to inadequate prevention of ocular surface disease (OSD).

Aim: This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of nursing eye care in preventing OSD in ICU patients.
