My 89 yr old mother will Not leave her house and is in dire need of updated glasses. She can barely see and her only salvation in living alone is her tv. Any help Greatly Appreciated !! Thank you .
We have had a lot of questions concerning cataracts surgery. Its true that once you get the surgery your eye won't change but the lens need to be checked periodically. There have been instances where they cloud up. Having surgery does not save your eye from having other problems. We were told our last visit that the doctor wanted to see us once a year. We were going every 2 yrs. Both of us have cataracts forming.
Am very nearsighted here and my px has not changed much since my 30s. That’s the norm with seeing at a distance. Would bet your mom has a different issue.
My mom has dry macular degeneration. She has blurry vision which px glasses cannot fix. There are vitamins one can take to slow the progression but there is no treatment. She needs to see an ophthalmologist to get a diagnosis.
Meanwhile, buy her magnifiers she can wear to tide her over until her ophthalmologist appointment. My mom hates hers (she wants to be young and free - don’t we all) but her love of tv may help her become very attached to them.
Reading your profile, it sounds as though your mom is in need of a much higher level of care if she is calling you at all hours because she needs to be changed or because she needs to eat.
You say she won't leave her home. Is that because of concerns around COVID, lack of mobility?
She needs an eye exam once a year. We recently had a poster whose mom hadn't had an eye exam in years, because she had had cataract surgery years ago. It turns out she's developed glaucoma and it was too late to stop the progression.
At some point, we need to sit back, take stock of what mom needs, in addition to what she wants. When what my mom WANTED no longer allowed me to live my life in relative peace, I told her I could no longer respond to what she was asking for.
As a forum of Caregivers that are from all over the US and other countries we can't really answer that. I suggest u call the eye doctor who prescribed her last glasses. Call a NH in ur srea and see what doctor comes in to see patients. But if its been a long time, Mom needs a good exam. She could have cataracts or even glaucoma which both cause loss of vision and with glaucoma blindness.

Does mom have any outside help coming in?
