Abstract: Objective: To explore the real experiences and needs of monocular glaucoma patients during their disease course, providing references for formulating a targeted nursing program. Methods: Descriptive qualitative research methods were employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with 21 patients with monocular glaucoma. The Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method was applied to analyze, induce, and refine the interview data. Results: A total of 4 themes were extracted, including inadequate self-management capacity of disease(lack of disease-related knowledge and drug management ability), decline in quality of life(abnormal vision, ocular pain, and limited daily activities), obvious mental disturbance (concern about the effect of surgery, expectations for postoperative vision, and the fear of blindness after surgical eye dressing), and demand for a comprehensive support system(expectation of targeted care during surgery and continuous professional medical support, desire for understanding and support from family and society, and the urgent need for glaucoma disease management knowledge). Conclusion: Medical staff should pay attention to the specific experiences and needs of patients with monocular glaucoma, provide targeted perioperative nursing care, and improve continuous support system to reduce patients' physical and psychological disturbance while improving their disease self-management ability.
