It is important to inform visually impaired clients about the food in each mouthful, to help them eat properly. The importance of developing a rapport with the client is not specific to visually impaired clients.

To distribute the eye medication over the surface of the eye, the nurse should ask the client to blink his or her eyes, rather than rubbing them. In order to provide a natural reservoir for liquid medication, the nurse makes a pouch in the lower lid by pulling the skin downward over the bony orbit. To prevent injury and blink reflexes, the nurse should not instill medication in the upper eyelid, but should steady the medication container and move it from below the client's line of vision or from the side of the eye.
