Helping Your Senior Make the Most of Talking to Their Eye Doctor About Their Glaucoma

January 23, 2019 By Stephanie Miller

Elder Care in Wilsonville OR: Aging Relative’s Glaucoma

If you are a family caregiver for one of the approximately 3 million people throughout the United States who has been diagnosed with glaucoma, it is important to take control of their health by managing this condition in the best way possible.

One of the most important steps you can take to do this is to talk to their eye doctor about their condition. Talking openly and honestly with their eye doctor about their glaucoma helps your parent to understand their condition, make good decisions about their treatment and management, and even modify their daily lifestyle to cope with the issues of the disease. As a family caregiver, you can help your parent to make the most of these conversations to ensure they get all the information they need.

 

Some of the ways your senior can affect the outcome out of talking to their eye doctor about their glaucoma include:

-Encourage your senior to ask questions until they truly understand what they need to know about their condition. Make sure they realize it is well within their right to ask as many questions as they need to and to feel as if they are fully informed about any condition they have, and any treatments their doctor recommends.

-Go with your senior when they talk to the doctor. Take notes about the conversation, including writing down any questions your senior asked and the answers the doctor provided so you can reference them later.

-If your senior has difficulties with memory or seems that they have not fully absorbed the instructions given to them by their doctor, ask the doctor to write down or print out instructions for your senior. Include copies of this written material in your care notebook so it can be easily referenced later.

-Encourage your senior to ask the doctor for recommendations for other sources of information so they can learn more if they need to.

 

If your senior has been struggling with new challenges and symptoms recently, now may be the ideal time to start elder care for them.

An elderly home care services provider can help your senior to manage the health issues they are facing on a regular basis. Through a set of highly personalized services, this care provider can encourage your parent to stay independent, maintain more autonomy and control over their own life, stay active and engaged in the world around them, and remain compliant with medications and treatments recommended by their doctor. Through medication reminders, this care provider can help your parent to take their medications when and how they are supposed to come over to follow through with treatments as instructed so they can get the maximum benefit.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
