Question by flashofinterest: Any tips on getting my Grandma with Alzheimer’s to get through a laser eye Glaucoma treatment?
She cannot be chemically sedated during these procedures. She is going blind and when I tried to take her for the procedure previously she flipped out and flailed and screamed until we took her home. She is going blind and needs this procedure. Any tips and or personal stories would be much appreciated!

If laser is impossible they can do a glaucoma procedure in the operating room called a trebeculectomy she can be sedated and it will help her to lower her eye pressure and you won’t have to be stressed about it.

I would first talk with her Primary Care Doctor and see if they have any suggestions.
