  Falling can lead to eye injuries for older adults and practicing  senior balance exercises is good medicine to limit the potential of a fall. Please see  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Falls can occur frequently for those in the aging population, resulting in fractures of the hip, wrist and head as well as eye injuries. Falling  tops the list of major causes of eye injuries resulting in hospitalization over a 10-year period, says a new study. Falling was the leading cause, usually involved seniors age 60 or older, which were the most costly to treat. The study presented at the recent Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, details that falling was the No. 1 cause of eye injuries overall and accounted for more than 8,425 hospitalizations. Researchers also found that the cost to treat eye injuries at hospitals rose by 62 percent during that period and now exceeds $20,000 per injury. Serious ocular trauma injuries include orbital fractures and being pierced by objects. These injuries can be expensive to treat, and in many cases are preventable. With that in mind medical researchers as well as healthcare providers like doctors, nurses and physical therapists recommend that senior citizens perform certain senior balance exercises on a daily basis to enhance their stability and reduce the possibility of falling and sustaining an eye injury.
