How Alzheimer's Affects Vision

Understanding Vision Changes in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease affects much more than memory. As the condition progresses, changes in vision and visual processing can make everyday activities increasingly difficult — reading, recognising faces, judging distances, and navigating familiar surroundings may all become more challenging.

Although Alzheimer's doesn't directly damage the eyes, it can affect how the brain processes visual information. Regular home eye examinations help ensure that any treatable eye conditions are identified and managed, allowing patients to make the most of their remaining vision.

At Almond Eyecare, we provide professional home eye tests for people living with Alzheimer's disease, allowing patients to receive expert eye care in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.

How Alzheimer's Can Affect Vision

  • Difficulty recognising familiar people or objects
  • Problems judging depth and distance
  • Increased sensitivity to changes in lighting
  • Reduced confidence when walking or using stairs
  • Difficulty reading or recognising colours
  • Reduced contrast sensitivity
  • Increased risk of falls due to visual changes
