Vision plays a critical yet often underrecognized role in falls. This lecture reviews the relationship between visual impairment and fall risk, highlights the value of comprehensive eye examinations in identifying modifiable risk factors, and discusses evidence-based interventions including refractive correction, cataract management, and environmental recommendation that can reduce falls, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

Falls often start before you'd expect; in subtle shifts in how you walk, and in the quiet fear that follows a stumble or near-miss. In this session, a physical therapist breaks down the walking pattern changes that signal rising fall risk, plus fun, practical balance challenges you can safely try at home. You'll also learn how fear of falling can actually increase your risk, how to rebuild confidence after a fall, and how to tell healthy caution from limiting avoidance.  This program is generously supported by the Frederick H.
