19. What can I do to prevent vision-related falls? - cont'd

To prevent falls, wear your eyeglasses if you need them. Keep the lenses clean and be sure the frames are straight. If you get new glasses, be extra cautious as you get used to them. If you wear reading glasses or multi-focal lenses, take them off when you're walking to avoid missteps.
