Glaucoma can cause vision loss and difficulty reading small print. Providing large-print handouts can make it easier for the client to read and understand important information. Repeat teaching may also be helpful, but it is not the most effective method for communicating with every client. Presenting teaching to the client's spouse or using a taped message may be helpful in some situations, but it is not specifically tailored to the client's needs and may not be the most effective method for presenting information to this client.
