Dementia can change far more than memory — it can change how a person sees the world, even when their eye exam looks "normal."
In this video, I explain the most common vision changes in dementia, including tunnel vision, depth perception problems, color and contrast loss, and visual misrecognition. I also cover less common symptoms like motion blindness and visual hallucinations.
You'll learn what's part of normal aging versus what's caused by dementia, and practical ways to make your loved one's environment safer and less confusing, from lighting and contrast tips to simple home adjustments.
If your loved one is bumping into objects, startled easily, or saying things "disappeared," this video will help explain why.
