What this Trial Is About
Falls are one of the most serious public health concerns for seniors, with significant medical and economic consequences. This concern is even higher in patients with peripheral field loss due to glaucoma because of the patients' compromised visual input. The investigators' project proposes an innovative, entertaining, easily accessible and enjoyable intervention for improving mobility and postural control function in glaucoma patients with peripheral vision loss, who are more prone to falls and suffer from fear of falling. The new intervention examined in this project can be implemented in current vision and balance rehabilitation programs, and may benefit patients with different types of visual impairment to minimize their risk of falls and improve their quality of life.
