Talk to Them: First and foremost you’re going to want to sit down with your parents and talk to them about your concerns. Tell them specifically what you’ve noticed and have ready a list of recommendations and actions so they won’t feel afraid.
Make an Appointment: Make your parent an appointment with a certified ophthalmologist in your area to determine whether or not the issue is serious. Glaucoma and cataracts are common in the elderly and must be treated immediately for best results so act fast.
Talk to Their Insurance Provider: Your parents may be confused by the complexities of their health insurance coverage so take a look for them or speak to a representative to find out exactly what’s covered. That way, when glasses or surgery are needed you won’t have to put them on hold to make sure they’re paid for.
