A member asked:
A dementia pt w/far sight vision is not allowed to have her glasses because she no longer reads and can eat w/o the glasses. what to make of this?

Sounds odd: Dementia or not, everyone's quality of life changes when they have their optimal vision. Whether its for ambulating, tv, or just seeing your surroundings, the better vision you have, the better your quality of life will be. If a person needs glasses to see far or near or both, they should have it.
