  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We evaluated the eye problems in 88 patients with dementia who were bedridden over longer periods. About 50% of the cases manifested exter-nal and anterior segment eye diseases. Eye dis-charge was common, presumably due to inability to keep their eyes clean because of dementia.

Reduced eye blinking seemed to be another contributing factor, resulting in stagnation of tear fluid in the lacrimal passage.

Patients with dementia have a lesser chance to receive professional eye care as they cannot com-plain of their eye problems. We stress the need to take active steps to identify and attend to the eye problems in these patients.
