My father has dementia & macular degeneration. He had 3 pair of glasses & says 2 of them have been "stolen". The apartments in the MC where he lives have no locks on the doors & some of the residents are quite debilitated mentally, but are still able to walk around. It wouldn't surprise me if what he says is true, although I know it would be unintentional. If he has misplaced his glasses this time I know it's going to happen again. The VA supplied him with his prescription glasses & I would hate to keep going back to them for more pairs. So, does anyone know if any of the "cheap" glasses would work for him & what strength would likely work?
As for a drug store having glasses for macular degeneration, I doubt it as those type of glasses need strong distance and strong reading lenses, and possibly some special lenses if there is any double vision. Each eye could need a different prescription. My Mom also had macular degeneration, and it was so difficult for her to see :(
