Specsavers is calling for the removal of this <a href=\"https:\/\/pcse.england.nhs.uk\/services\/ophthalmic-payments\/focus-on-domiciliary\/gos-6-pre-visit-notifiation\/\">pre-visit notification<\/a> and will be highlighting this discriminatory barrier to MPs and the need for a consistent approach to eye care for everyone throughout England. `<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8003\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8003\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8003\" src=\"https:\/\/primaryhealthnet.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dawn-Roberts-Specsavers-Home-Visits-150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dawn Roberts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dawn Roberts, Specsavers home visits clinical director, says \u2018<em>Maintaining good vision is a key part of any person\u2019s quality of life, but perhaps more so for care home residents because they often have limited mobility and so most of their hobbies and pastimes will involve visual tasks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sight loss can be very isolating and for those already struggling with memory problems or dementia, any confusion and disorientation is exacerbated by impaired vision. This can lead to a loss of engagement in social activities and sometimes increased risk of falls. Providing regular eye care can minimise or even eliminate these issues for people living in care homes allowing them to enjoy doing the things they want to do.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Specsavers is proud to offer home visits to anybody unable to leave their home, including residents of care homes.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Specsavers Home Visits, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, carries out the same standard of eye test in people\u2019s homes that is found in Specsavers\u2019 stores, but with just with a few changes and specialist equipment to make them home friendly.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year alone, the team of mobile opticians have dispensed more than a quarter of a million glasses to those who can\u2019t leave their homes unaccompanied referred over 20,000 for treatment to safeguard their sight.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Fudge, 75, has lived in a care home for the past eight months. She says: <em>\u2018My poor eyesight was having a significant impact on my day-to-day life.\u00a0 I was struggling to focus clearly on my family and friends or my favourite activities. As I have Parkinson\u2019s Disease, my mobility has decreased therefore being able to catch up with loved ones, read and do quizzes is more important than ever so I asked for a home eye test. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>\u2018The Specsavers Home Visits team were friendly and helpful and did a thorough eye test.\u00a0I now have a lovely pair of new glasses.\u00a0As a retired nurse, I know the significance that good eye health has on maintaining as much independence as possible so home eye tests really are essential for people that can\u2019t access them on the high street.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Janie Wilkins, Belmore Lodge home manager, adds:<em> \u2018Many of our care home residents find it difficult to access services outside of the home, making Specsavers Home Visits invaluable for them. It is important that life continues as normal when people come to live with us, and this includes them having access to the same healthcare services that are available on the high street.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Maintaining optimum vision is a significant factor in sustaining independence and enabling residents to enjoy all aspects of communal living. From a personal perspective, my own mother is in a local care home and recently had a Specsavers home visit and new glasses.\u00a0This has massively improved her ability to communicate and continue the hobbies she loves.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Regular eye tests are not only important in identifying changes in vision and detecting the early signs of multiple eye conditions, but also because sight loss can have a significant impact on the overall safety and wellbeing of a person, particularly if they are older. The rate of falls in older people with sight loss increase by 1.7 times<sup>1<\/sup>, the medical cost of falls directly related to having sight loss is \u00a3128m.<sup>1 <\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Specsavers\u2019 provides Dementia Friends training, as part of an initiative run by the Alzheimer&#8217;s Society, to help support the needs of people living with dementia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bl.uk\/collection-items\/undetected-sight-loss-in-care-homes-an-evidence-review\">https:\/\/www.bl.uk\/collection-items\/undetected-sight-loss-in-care-homes-an-evidence-review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1082379\/number-of-people-living-in-care-homes-in-the-united-kingdom\/\">https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1082379\/number-of-people-living-in-care-homes-in-the-united-kingdom\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aop.org.uk\/ot\/industry\/equipment-and-suppliers\/2022\/02\/03\/a-growing-domiciliary-demand#:~:text=At%20the%20moment%20it%20is,benefit%20from%20domiciliary%20eye%20care\">https:\/\/www.aop.org.uk\/ot\/industry\/equipment-and-suppliers\/2022\/02\/03\/a-growing-domiciliary-demand#:~:text=At%20the%20moment%20it%20is,benefit%20from%20domiciliary%20eye%20care<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocklington-trust.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Falls-in-Older-People-with-Sight-Loss.pdf\">https:\/\/www.pocklington-trust.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Falls-in-Older-People-with-Sight-Loss.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnib.org.uk\/professionals\/health-social-care-education-professionals\/knowledge-and-research-hub\/key-information-and-statistics-on-sight-loss-in-the-uk\/\">https:\/\/www.rnib.org.uk\/professionals\/health-social-care-education-professionals\/knowledge-and-research-hub\/key-information-and-statistics-on-sight-loss-in-the-uk\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Care home residents could be suffering<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28397,"featured_media":21843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2957],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vision-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
