Concerns within the community
- The risks of living with visual problems in the community need consideration and a role of the ESD team is to address these and to reassure the patient and their family.
- The positioning of important items within the house needs consideration - can they be seen or is scanning required?
- Once moving outside, consideration must be given to road safety; basic left and right scanning is essential prior to crossing the road.
- Full consideration of the visual reduction must be given before returning to driving.
