Eye Clinic Mälarsjukhuset Eskilstuna

About Us

The Eye Clinic of Region Sörmland is a regional clinic with locations at the three hospitals in Eskilstuna, Nyköping, and Katrineholm. We conduct approximately 60,000 visits per year and provide both surgical and outpatient services, including emergency care. The Eskilstuna location is the largest with about 45 employees.

Our team consists of doctors, nurses, ophthalmic nurses, optometrists, nursing assistants, orthoptists, and administrative staff, all with different competencies to provide our patients with the best care.

Your Responsibilities

As a nurse at our eye clinic, you will have a varied and dynamic role. In the operating department, you will assist the doctor during various surgeries, including cataract surgeries, and be responsible for handling instruments, equipment, and sterility. We have fast workflows and a large number of patients, which requires great flexibility on your part.

Your tasks in the outpatient clinic include preparing patients for doctor visits with various examinations, and you may also have your own independent consultations, such as photographing the fundus and visual field examinations. A significant patient group for us consists of those with macular problems. These conditions are treated with intravitreal injections, which our nurses perform after training.

Consultation via TeleQ is also part of your responsibilities as a nurse, but this will be relevant only after you have gained some experience in our operations.

At our eye clinic, it is important that you receive a proper introduction/training so that you feel secure when you start working independently. You will have a mentor to whom you can always turn with questions and concerns, and of course, other colleagues will always be close at hand.

Your Qualifications

Your formal qualifications include being an optometrist or a licensed nurse in healthcare, preferably with a few years of experience. If you are also a trained ophthalmic nurse and/or have experience in surgery or other tasks involving sterile handling, this is an advantage but not a requirement. You have a good ability to collaborate within and between professions and maintain a positive attitude towards your work.

We place great emphasis on your personal qualities. If you are interested in deepening your knowledge and skills, there is an opportunity for you as a nurse to later further your education to become an ophthalmic nurse.
