As you get older and your vision deteriorates, you are more likely to fall
Age-related vision change is normal
Presbyopia is a common type of age-related change in vision
You are entitled to a free NHS sight test if you are aged 60 or over
The optometrist can advise you on what can be done to reduce the chance of you falling
