Hello. My mother has Alzheimers and she still lives on her own with carer assistance twice weekly,
She is on the waiting list for a cataract operation but we have been told she will have to have drops in 4 times a day for 6 weeks. There is no way she is going to either manage or remember to do this on her own. As neither myself nor my brother live nearby, we don't know how we are going to manage this.
I have read that there is an injection they can administer at the time of the operation which eliminates the need for drops. Has anyone heard of this, or have any suggestions what we can do especially as she still likes to go out regularly.
Many thanks
