How Good Vision Helps with Fall Prevention

10/1/2021

6 Comments

 
Picture
Falls are one of the most common injuries for people of all ages, especially as we get older. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 25 percent of older adults sustain a fall each year.

​One of the risk factors for a fall is poor vision. Learning the link between fall risk and vision is helpful to take steps to reduce your chances of a fall.  

The link between vision and falls

Falls can lead to a variety of injuries, such as broken bones. Falls may also cause a decrease in mobility and a loss of independence. Fall risk increases as we age for a few reasons. Core and leg strength may decrease as we get older. Balance also tends to become worse in our 50s and beyond.
But vision also plays a role in our risk of falling. Studies show a strong relationship between a decrease in visual acuity and an increase in fall risk. According to the CDC, having poor vision doubles a person’s risk of having a fall.

Vision also affects balance control. If vision decreases with age, it may also lead to poor balance and increased fall risk. Visual impairment also may reduce postural stability, which also increases the risk of falling. 
​

How to improve vision issues 

We might not be able to prevent all the changes that can occur with our vision as we age, but there are ways to keep your eyes healthy and deal with vision issues as you get older. Consider the following:

Get regular eye exams: Getting regular eye exams can help identify common eye problems and diseases early. For example, early diagnosis of glaucoma can reduce the risk of vision loss if appropriate treatment is given. Regular eye exams also help spot vision changes that are correctable with glasses. 

Wear appropriate glasses or contact lenses: If you have glasses, wear them as prescribed. Being unable to see clearly will increase the chances that you will take a tumble.

See a neuro-rehabilitative eye specialist: For people that have low vision, a neuro-rehabilitative eye specialist may develop therapy protocols that enhance vision as much as possible, which may decrease fall risk. 
​

General fall prevention tips

In addition to maintaining healthy eyes, there are several ways to prevent falls, such as:
​
Use good lighting: Poor lighting can make it difficult to see and might be a tripping hazard. Install bright lights in areas where tripping is more likely to occur such as in narrow hallways and stairways.

Remove clutter and tripping hazards: Remove clutter that is easy to trip on. For instance, remove electrical cords from hallways, secure rugs, and repair loose floorboards.

Install handrails and grab bars: Install handrails for all stairways, outdoor decks, and bathtubs. 

Know your limits: Recognize when something is too challenging for you to do without risking a fall.

Practice balance exercises: Practicing balance exercises helps with muscle memory. Practice easy exercises, such as standing on one foot or shifting your weight from side to side.

Use non-slip mats: Place non-slip mats in areas, such as the bathroom, porch and kitchen.

By taking some of the steps above, you can decrease your risk of having a fall. If you have any questions on vision and falls, we are happy to help. Also, if you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

URGENT EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX BACK FAST AND TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE NOW CONTACT DR.DAVID (AWESOME SPELL TEMPLE) ON EMAIL: AWESOMESPELLTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM WHATSAPP DIRECTLY +1(203)-533-9214...



My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up on how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustworthy. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out to the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family is living together happily again... I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers, or any relationship-related issues, you can contact DR DAVID and wonder about the ultimate spell caster.

I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much.
