Help with seeing.

My dad has PSP and can’t see very well in front of him while eating. We bought “Lazy readers read at 90 degree angle”. He was able to see what he was eating for the first time in a long time. A friend recommended them, pilots use them for training. Just thought I would share.

My mum used prism glasses for a while, provided free by the PSP Association. She had a pair for reading and one for TV. They seemed to work well until she lost interest in reading and tv.

My dad had prison glasses and they didn’t really help. These glasses have been life changing for him. Your mum may like reading again with these glasses. She may have lost interest bc she can’t make out the words. I don’t know that for sure. But it may be worth a try.
