A trip to the optician makes Andrew realise how much Mum has changed in a year

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

A trip round the corner for her annual eye test gives Andrew a stark reminder of how much Mum's condition has deteriorated in the past year. She's unable to understand why she's at the opticians, let alone read the letters on the chart - even though her eyes are healthy. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
