With glasses I have perfect vision. An optician once remarked that it was 'pilot's vision'. This 'slow pupil response' happens to some younger folk too. It is just that they won't admit it.
I agree that Altzeimers sufferers will lack the sense to recognise their own limitations.
We must bear in mind that the diagnosis of Altzheimers is a very inexact skill, and sometimes harmless eccentrics can be given that label.
