New study aims to spot sight problems in older fall patients
NCT ID NCT06645080
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how to better check vision in older adults (65+) who come to the hospital after a fall. Falls are common and costly, and poor eyesight can double the risk of falling again. Researchers will talk to patients, carers, and health professionals to develop a practical vision screening program that can be used in hospitals.
