Since surviving a bout with Covid, mom has become very frail and has greatly deteriorated. She never complains to staff.
Recently covid restrictions allowed visitation closer than 6 feet and she told one of my siblings that she couldn’t see. We had her eyes checked and found out she has Cataracts.
After surviving Covid, her quality of life reduced tremendously and she now needs assistance with everything she does.
All she has left is her sight! We desperately want to save it! Can anyone help?
Most cataract surgery is done under local anethesia and requires the coooeeration of the patient and the ability to follow instructions.
You also need to make sure that the NH will be scrupulous in making sure that mom gets the proper eye drops several times a day and that she is superrvised so that she doesn't touch her eye.
