Assisted Living Federation of America (www.alfa.com) sent an email update today reporting that seniors with possibly untreated or undertreated vison problems may have a greater chance of developing dementia. (See their website for more information)
It seems apparant to me that regular checkups as the population ages will have a beneficial effect as they get older. In particular, it is important to carefully examine seniors who reside in facilities such as assisted living residences and nursing homes.
