Another thought would be to have the social services take a newspaper, large print etc...to the resident and find out for sure. Also I would think social services would need to know this anyway in case the resident needs assistante with glasses etc.

This is what I would do. I would interview staff that worked during the reference period. CNA's, Activities, whoever you think. I would ask them the following -
Did resident read the newspaper during period??  If no
Did resident read large print material during period?? If no
Did resident see objects in the environment during period??  If no
DId resident follow you with eyes when you were moving about his environment.
 
Then I would do a progress note stating interviewed such and such staff who worked with resident during (dates of reference period) They stated blah blah blah ...........  Thus will code vision on MDS as ...... Hope this makes sense.
