Effect of induced hyperopia on fall risk and Fourier transformation of postural sway

Fall accidents are a social challenge in Korea and elsewhere. Most previous studies have focused on the effects of reduced visual acuity due to myopia on falls and body balance. The objective of this study was to investigate whether uncorrected hyperopia was a major risk factor for falls and to establish whether the risk of falls was absolutely correlated with visual acuity.Fifty-one young subjects with a mean age of 22.75 ± 2.13 years were...
