Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 April, LBD causes vision problems, especially with depth perception. My Mother has trouble seeing shiny things like silverware. She will have the plate in front of her and she can't find the silverware even though it's on the plate. Your FIL may have been having trouble seeing the nail clippers. This problem also occurs at thresholds where there is a metal strip between two types of floors. She sees the strip as elevated several inches above the floor and thinks she has to step over it. Also, if the grout in a tiled floor is a different color from the tile, she sees that as raised. At times, LBD has also made my Mother very self centered. LBD can be misleading because one second the person can do something and the next they can't. in Dallas > Just last weekend, my brother-in-law stayed with > my FIL for a little while so that my MIL could go out.
