Creating a dementia-friendly eyecare pathway for residential aged care

People living with dementia can miss out on eyecare. Poor eyesight makes living with dementia harder and can increase risk of falls. Risk of experiencing preventable sight loss is doubled if you live with dementia in residential aged care. 

From our research, we have created a draft dementia-friendly eyecare pathway for residential aged care. 

We want to hear what you think about the pathway, and your ideas for putting the pathway into action in residential aged care. 

We are looking to hear from people living with dementia, family members who are supporting someone living with dementia in residential aged care, health and care professionals working in residential aged care, and aged care advocacy and community support groups. 

Anyone with an interest in the topic of eyecare in residential aged care can take part.
