Preventing Falls: Eyesight

Osteoporosis is a disease that can affect both men and women. It causes the bones in your body to become weak and brittle and prone to fractures. Reducing your risk of falls is important to help minimize broken bones.

Poor eyesight can cause falls as poor vision can cause you to not see an object in your way and subsequently trip over. Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis and update your old eyeglasses or spectacles prescription.
