What is the primary focus of the Patient Care section of the ABO NOCE?

The primary focus of the Patient Care section of the ABO NOCE is to assess and manage patients’ ocular health effectively. This section emphasizes the importance of understanding and evaluating various aspects of a patient's vision and eye health, which includes not only diagnosing and treating ocular conditions but also making informed clinical decisions to ensure comprehensive care. By centering on patient management, practitioners are trained to consider the holistic needs of their patients, including recognizing symptoms, developing treatment plans, and coordinating care as necessary.

In doing so, the emphasis is on applying knowledge in a practical manner that directly influences patient outcomes. This core aspect goes beyond just treating conditions; it encapsulates a broader commitment to maintaining and improving ocular health across a diverse patient population. As a result, this primary focus supports the overall goal of promoting effective eye care practices.
