This study found better home lighting, but not home hazards, was linked to less difficulty with daily tasks in glaucoma patients, suggesting lighting improvements can enhance function.

This study found better home lighting was linked to increased physical activity (steps, cadence) in older adults with glaucoma, suggesting home modifications could boost activity.

Neighborhood factors like poverty and crime disproportionately reduce physical activity in older adults with glaucoma, especially those with severe vision loss, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

This study found that worsening glaucoma visual field damage accelerates declines in walking speed and cadence over three years, highlighting increased fall risk for these patients.

Glaucoma patients with worse vision have less physical activity *outside* the home, but not *inside*. This highlights the need for safe home environments and support for outdoor activity.

This study found better home lighting, not fewer hazards, significantly reduced falls in glaucoma patients and older adults, suggesting lighting improvements can prevent falls.

Glaucoma patients with worse vision have more fragmented and less active daily physical activity, particularly midday to evening, indicating lower physiological functioning and potential health risks.

This study found worse balance was linked to more falls in glaucoma patients, but neither balance nor gait explained why visual field damage increases fall risk, suggesting other factors like hazard perception are crucial.

Glaucoma patients fall most often at home. Worse visual field damage increases the risk of falling per step both at and away from home, highlighting the need for home modifications.

Glaucoma patients fall mostly at home from tripping/slipping. While poor vision contributes more in advanced disease, home modifications are key for fall prevention across all glaucoma severities.

Yonge Andrea V, Swenor Bonnielin K, Miller Rhonda, Goldhammer Victoria, West Sheila K, Friedman David S et al.

This study found numerous fall hazards in glaucoma patients' homes, with worse vision not correlating with fewer hazards. This suggests patients don't adapt homes, highlighting a need for hazard-reduction interventions.
