Abstract
Cataract is a lens metabolism disease, which is caused by various factors, and leads to metamorphic lens proteins turbidity. Cataract commonly occurs in elderly patients, and majority of these patients have clinical manifestations of blurred vision and other symptoms. In this study, we explored the clinical practice and observations of cataract care criteria in nonophthalmic wards. To realize this, a total of one hundred and twenty (120) cataract patients, admitted to the East Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, particularly from April 2019-2020, were divided into the control and observation groups, where 60 cases were added to each group. The control group received routine nursing, and observation group was treated with cataract care criteria based on the control group. The complication rate, health cognition, and patient's satisfaction were compared with existing approaches. The incidence of corneal edema, anterior chamber hemorrhage, endophthalmitis, and incision infection, specifically in the observation group, was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Likewise, the number of hospitalization days and expenses, specifically in the observation group, were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Health knowledge and satisfaction scores of the observation group were higher than the control group (P < 0.05). Active service, service attitude, psychological support, caring patients, and health education dissatisfaction rate of the observation group were lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Finally, the standard of cataract care in nonophthalmic wards reduces the incidence of complications, improve health awareness of patients, and help to improve satisfaction of patients with nurses. Furthermore, it is worthy of promotion and application particularly in traditional hospitals.

Summary
Cataract is a lens metabolism disease, which is caused by various factors and leads to metamorphic lens proteins turbidity. Erefore, in this study, we proposed a clinical practice of cataract specific nursing standards in nonophthalmic areas and tried to explore the effectiveness of the proposed model in the resolving the aforementioned issue such as provision of high-quality nursing service to the admitted patients in the hospital. Providing high quality standardized nursing service in different wards is a problem and needed to be solved on priority bases for improving the unified management system of beds in hospital.
