Understanding the experiences and needs of people with dementia and sight loss
Abstract
It would surprise many people to know that sight loss may be more common in people with dementia; the effect of these two conditions on people's lives had never previously been investigated until recently. Here, Vanessa Lawrence and Joanna Murray present the findings of their ground‐breaking research carried out with Professor Sube Banerjee and Dr Dominic Ffytche of King's College, London into how sight loss and dementia affects the lives of older people and their carers.
