Looking for help with medication for my Grandfather. (self.Blind)
submitted by thebigbadwulf1
My grandfather has four different types of eyedrops he now has to take for his eyes. Due to him being blind he is unable to distinguish the different bottles. Pills are easy because you can just use a weekly pill box. I have been unable to find any thing similar for eyedrops. Any ideas. My grandfather is completely blind so any solutions have to be by touch. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the best option right now. They have audio tag readers at a lot of pharmacies, and braille labels at some pharmacies. If there are no local pharmacies several mail-order ones (including the big insurance companies) are listed that participate.
The system is free to you as the patient.

You could try using rubber and to differentiate the bottles, or puff paint to make a tactile marker. If he can make out colors perhaps stickers on the bottom.

I would try wrapping rubber bands on the bottles. 1 on 1, 2 on another, 3 on another and 4 on the final. I would imagine he would be able to distinguish the difference between them.
Alternatively, you could glue on things of different shapes on each bottle. Or, find a container (I am picturing a small container for a few bottles of nail polish or lipstick) and just put them in a particular order (assuming his regimen would work well with a set-up like that).
