SUMMARY:Falls Forum: Vision Impairment and Falls Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Join Injury Matters\, in partnership with VisAbility WA\, on 15 May 2025 for the “Falls Forum: Vision Impairment and Falls Prevention” and gain insight into preventing falls among older adult clients with vision impairments. \nAs people age\, it is common for their visual function to decrease\, however this is associated with an increased risk of falling. Older adults with vision impairments are twice as likely to fall than older adults without vision loss\, with decreased visual function affecting factors such as balance\, stability\, and the ability to identify hazards in the environment. It is essential for health professionals working with older adults to support their clients with vision impairments by understanding the impacts of vision impairments on daily living and to increase their knowledge of relevant assistive technologies and home modifications. \nThis hybrid event will explore: \n\nA day in the life of someone with lived experience\nDifferent eye conditions and their impact on falls risk as well as strategies for management.\nAssistive technologies to support people with vision impairment and reduce falls risk\nHome modifications and community access for reducing falls risk among people with vision impairment\n\nWho should attend: \nEarly career Occupational Therapists\, GPs\, Nurses\, Support Workers and Optometrists. \nJoin the Falls Forum either online via Microsoft Teams (FREE) or attend in-person at VisAbility WA and enjoy canapés and networking ($15). \n* Networking and canapes from 5pm\, with the first speaker to commence at 5:30pm \nIn person Registration \nMicrosoft Teams Registration \n  \n
