My father is 84 and has had his eyes checked several times and glasses replaced. The eye doctor says there is nothing unusual and his eyes are ok. He wears his glasses and complains that he can't read and he can't see his food on his plate to eat. He is constantly spilling things on himself. We are wondering if it could be something neurological. Could his eyes test Ok and he still not be able to see clearly with glasses on with a script that is correct ? He has had cataracts removed a couple of years ago and that went well. As far as health problems, he has had severe bronchiectasis since he was a child with several surgeries and he has been anemic lately. His mind is still clear. He walks with a walker and does seem to run into things a lot, but that may just be from weakness. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.
