Caring for and Communicating with Blind and Visually Impaired Elderly Persons

L.N. Bentz

Abstract

This article outlines behaviorial indicators of visual impairment and offers suggestions that will help nurses care for patients who have lost sight gradually and who are now either blind or visually impaired. These guidelines are particularly important for patients in hospital or extended care units, although they will also help community health nurses recognize the signs of visual impairment in home-bound patients.
