Hi All,
I wondered if anyone has any general advice for helping my dad get his eyes tested. My dad has a trip to the optician this week and I'm not really sure how they can reliably carry out the eye test now that he has dementia.
We will obviously make the optician aware of the situation, but I'm not sure how he will be able to carry out the test as the eyechart will probably cause problems. Dad can still pick up words but will find it had to concentrate.
Any experiences.
I could not find a factsheet on this subject.
thanks
