Maintaining good vision is an important part of staying independent.

Changes in vision can affect everything from reading and navigating the home to participating in everyday activities. Regular eye examinations can help identify conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration and allow concerns to be addressed with a healthcare professional.

At Dwyer Home, supporting independence means looking at every aspect of a resident's well-being throughout the rehabilitation process.
