| Description |
Disorders of binocular vision (DBVs) are increasingly prevalent among aged fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries. Visual impairment is a known risk factor for fractures, a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Despite the known association of visual impairment and fall risk, no studies have examined the association of DBV (strabismus, nystagmus, amblyopia) with musculoskeletal injury and falls in the elderly. |
