ABSTRACT: Objective: This paper aims to evaluate the efficacy of standardized nursing risk management in ophthalmic operating rooms for improving nursing quality, reducing perioperative ocular infection, and increasing patient satisfaction. Methods: This retrospective before-after study enrolled patients undergoing day-case ophthalmic surgery. The control group (routine nursing, no risk management) included 487 patients treated between January 1 and June 30, 2025. The observation group (full nursing risk management) included 465 patients treated between July 1 and December 31, 2025. Four routine inspections were performed monthly in both groups. Primary outcomes included nursing disinfection quality scores, postoperative infection rate, and patient satisfaction. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly lower incidence of nursing adverse events (P P P P Conclusions: Systematic nursing risk management in ophthalmic operating rooms effectively optimizes nursing quality, strengthens risk prevention awareness and standardized operation compliance, reduces postoperative infection, and elevates patient satisfaction. These findings support the broader implementation of risk-oriented perioperative nursing protocols.
