Eyesight and Falls

Eyesight and Falls

The links between Eyesight and falls are complex, but as a general rule, the risk from falls increase as the visual performance decreases.

If you have any concerns about you vision, consult your local Optometrist/Optician who should be able to examine your eyes and advice you on practical solutions to help. These may include:

• Updating your glasses
• Referral for cataract surgery
• Viewing strategies to help you make the most of your available vision
