This study is an outpatient follow-up and nursing experience of a 30-year-old female glaucoma patient who underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. The nursing period lasted from March 19 to July 20, 2013. Through outpatient follow-up, phone follow-up, and interviews, it was determined that the patient experienced visual perception change, social isolation, and hopelessness. The visual perception change after surgery had adversely affected the patient by prohibiting her from venturing outside her residence independently, and resulted in the development of social isolation induced anxiety; the postoperative ocular hypertension, coupled with repeated puncture drainage treatment and high risk of vision loss, had led to hopelessness of the future. We established the patient's confidence in disease treatment and the acquisition of routine postoperative glaucoma care through medical teamwork and sharing of successful cases, as well as timely facilitation of care from family and friends. This nursing care experience can serve as a reference for future nursing personnel caring for patients with related diseases.
