Formulated Eye Drops for Glaucoma

Older people tend to be less steady on their feet. A number suffer falls and many do not then check with their doctors to see whether there are any consequences. Likewise, an increasing number of elderly people with eye trauma is on the rise according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Falls appear to be a major cause of this eye trauma, but falls are preventable.

Statistics show that over 1 million hospital admissions in the USA between 2001 and 2014 included people with eye injuries, whether the primary or secondary cause. The figures are on the rise with the elderly being the largest group. Life expectancy increases and increased “mobility” mean that it comes as no surprise. Studies show that the most common conditions occurring in the elderly are cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Falls are often the result of deteriorating vision and these common conditions often caused that deteriorating vision. The good news is that these problems are treatable yet advice on how to try to avoid falls is important as well. Regular eye checks stand out immediately.

The CDC also recommends:

· Ensure that any medication you are taking will not cause dizziness

· Take regular exercise to strengthen you and improve your balance

· Keep your home free from clutter which may cause you to trip over

· Avoid having loose rugs around your home, use non slip mats in the bathroom and instal rails where needed

· Ensure your rooms are well lit
