SUMMARY:A Lens on Falls: Vision and falls prevention among older adults
DESCRIPTION:As people age\, it is common for their visual function to decrease\, which is associated with an increased risk of falling. Older adults with vision loss are twice as likely to fall than older adults without vision loss. Vision plays a key role in the balance and control required to carry out daily activities with older adults relying more heavily on visual information to maintain their balance. Good vision also allows older adults to identify hazards or obstacles in their environment and navigate safely around them. \nInjury Matters\, through the Stay On Your Feet® program\, and in partnership with Vision Australia WA\, are hosting a 2-hour interactive training workshop for health professionals on vision and falls prevention in older adults. The workshop aims for health professionals to better understand how poor or reduced vision affects falls in older adults and to increase their knowledge in effective strategies to reduce falls. \nThis workshop aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of risk factors for falls in older adults and age-related eye conditions\nIncrease knowledge of prevention strategies for vision impairment among older adults\nIncrease knowledge of interventions to reduce falls risk among older adults with vision impairment\nIncrease skills in using appropriate vision technology to reduce the risk of falls in older adults with vision impairment\nIncrease knowledge of effective eye health service delivery across regional and remote areas\nIncrease skills in using Telehealth to provide eye services to older adults in rural and remote areas.\n\nInjury Matters Cancellation and Refund Policy \nParticipants may request a refund or transfer their registration to another person if they are unable to attend.
