In the last Month a 73 year old Male can't see a person 15 ft away & he has also mention seeing purple spots. He said it is like looking at windshield that is wet and the purple reflects off the moisture like a flower.

Hello
It seems from the history that a 73 year old is having visual impairment in the difficulty in seeing with purple spots n vision.
This indicates age related problems like cataract or age related macular degeneration.
This requires evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice to get consultation with ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
