Have your eyes examined by an eye doctor at least once a year to ensure that your vision is normal and if not that you are using the proper eyeglasses.

Exercise regularly if possible. Controlling your balance and leg strength can be challenging as you get older. Exercise can help improve and increase these keeping you mobile and more independent. Evaluate your home and/or the facility and try to reduce any potential trip hazards such as rugs with lifted edges, power cords etc. If you are a caregiver, assess your patient or loved one and determine if additional safety products are needed.
