Background.
Recurrent falls are common among the aged.
Vision is needed in maintaining balance, and impaired vision may be an intrinsic risk factor of recurrent falls.
The aim was to perform a systematic review about the relationships between eye diseases or impaired vision and the risk of recurrent falls in the aged.
Material and Methods.
MEDLINE and CINAHL databases were searched in order to find longitudinal epidemiological studies about the associations between eye diseases or impaired vision and the risk of recurrent falls.
Altogether 19 studies were found.
A qualitative systematic analysis of these studies was performed.
Results and Conclusions.
The evidence about poor depth perception/stereoacuity and poor low-contrast visual acuity as risk factors of recurrent falls is quite convincing.
Discrepant vision, a decrease in visual acuity, and loss of visual field may be risk factors, but more studies are needed.
The results concerning the relationships between poor visual acuity and poor contrast sensitivity and the risk of recurrent falls are controversial.
More studies about the relationships between different measures of vision and the risk of recurrent falls are needed before final conclusions about poor vision as a risk factor for recurrent falling can be done.
