Dementia and drops
My mom’s dementia has complicated her regularly taking her drops. She’s been checked twice in the last year and her pressures were normal with about 50 compliance with daily usage. Here’s my question.. she was diagnosed after her memory issues started and when she did not have her BP under control. Could it be that she’s not been properly diagnosed? If she’s only taking the drops about half the time and still has normal pressure is that indicative of this having been an issue with the out of control BP?
Her ophthalmologist here thinks better safe than sorry but the endless merry go round of the drop conversations is driving me bonkers. She’s 85 and still lives in an independent living apartment and manages all her other daily tasks.
