Many seniors struggle with falls and losing their balance because of undiagnosed binocular vision dysfunction. This can affect people of all ages, but is increasingly common in seniors. This is not a problem of clear vision, which is why people are often told their vision is fine. But if the eyes don’t work properly together, and if depth perception isn’t properly calculated these issues can cause problems with falling and losing balance.

* I ask all my patients permission to interrupt them sometimes just to make sure I can dig deeper on certain things or to keep things on track. That said, in this short snippet of a video I was excited to show her what could change and in my excitement I did interrupt way more than normal. It was actually a good time to reflect on how my excitement can come across as rus

I've been struggling with this for a year now, falling, and at 71 was told to get a cane. I'm gonna get my eyes checked! Thank you!!
@vh4478
What needs to be said to the eye doctor? This is a great demonstration; thank you!!
@sandyshore8787
Because of people like you doctor , the world is a better place. You care and it changes their life. ❤

Yes! Vestibular physical therapy helps retrain the brain also. Wish I would have known this when husband was having his TIAs.
@llanierlv
Such a seemingly simple thing that could have been dismissed. Thank you for helping this sweet lady.
@feliformia7048
seniors deserve so much more help, appreciation, and kindness than they currently get.
@user-pt1cz4ot1e
So nice of her to show us just how drastic that was. I hope she’s so much more comfortable, happier, and safer now. 🥰 Well done.
@akiraknight5260
Depth perception is something that I've had a problem with since I was born, and it has been overlooked my entire life. Thank you for shining a light on it.
@michele7505
THANK GOD FOR DOCTORS THAT ACTUALLY CARE
@MKMcDonald287
I already knew I had depth perception issues. I didn’t think it was correctable!
@ladyfame1430
That’s crazy! You literally helping people live longer now that’s insane how eyes doctors have neglected the elderly. Thank you for helping her.

A lot of children can benefit from this too. I’ve seen a child so wobbly, couldn’t run or climb stairs. One insurance company did nothing for her. We were all convinced it was her eyes. The parents switched insurance, got a prescription for glasses and overnight could stair climb and run all with better balance. The ophthalmologist of the previous insurance health network gave us an inservice and said something to the effect that children so young aren’t driving or taking SATs so basically it was not as a big a deal…uh, falling and nearly having a head injury is a big deal.

Absolutely brilliant. I work in geriatric long term care and this is something that is commonly missed. The social repercussions are drastic - they're basically made to sit or lie down on a pressurized alarm mat that blares if they try to get up bc "walking is a fall risk." It's heartbreaking to watch & I recommend to family members that an outside, in depth eye exam & ENT appointment would be the first, best step for their loved ones bc this very much IS an unbelievably common issue and is largely overlooked by in house staff Drs. They always want to put it down to "frailty ," dementia &/or Parkinson's/Parkinson's like movement issues WITHOUT further investigation. Ruling out peripheral vision, depth perception & inner ear issues should ALWAYS be a priority before assuming someone is incapable of meaningful, safe mobility, most especially in seniors who rapidly lose mobility and atrophy much quicker than someone even 5-10yrs younger. Our elders should always be our top priority, as without them we wouldn't be here. ❤

Wow, thank you for showing this! I had no idea and am just so happy to know about it. You're a GREAT doctor!!
@Koko-sz1nk
You're a great doctor. Seniors are often dismissed or overlooked. 😢
@joycemay8922
Amazing!!! If only more eye doctors helped like this!!
@robin0540
Thank you for thinking outside the box. Bless you for caring and helping.

I'm a 66 year old woman who really appreciates this information, big time!! I'd like to add that my own balance problems got much worse with the combination of age and keeping my head in the downward position when using my phone all day long. I live in a big city (Milano, Italy) and it's horrible to say, but one has to keep one's head down even on long daily walks, because of the dog poop minefield that our sidewalks are here. All day with one's head down, turns into balance issues when one finally stands up straight. I wish this was a joke, but unfortunately it's not.

That's ME!
