BACKGROUND: The current state of @entity2194 and treatments in the elderly as well as the relationships between @entity303 and @entity262 remain unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated the prevalence of @entity2194 , @entity227 , @entity73 , and falls (which are an important health issue and are considered one of the Geriatric Giants) in super-elderly @entity1 in Japan. METHODS: The subjects were 31 elderly @entity1 (62 eyes; mean age: 84.6      8.8  years; age range 61-98  years) who were admitted to a geriatric health services facility. Eye treatment status, @entity262 , @entity303 , and recent falls were investigated. Eye examinations including vision and intraocular pressure measurement, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy were conducted. RESULTS: Mean best corrected visual acuity (logMAR) was 0.51      0.56, and mean intraocular pressure was 13.7      3.5  mmHg. Approximately half of the subjects exhibited excavation of the optic nerve head including @entity231 and @entity726 . Ten subjects had @entity227 (i.e., visual acuity of the eye with the better vision <20/40). The mean Hasegawa @entity303 scale scores between the visually impaired and @entity227 groups were 10.2      6 and 16      8 points, respectively (p  <  0.05). Furthermore, 70  % of subjects with @entity227 experienced a fall in the past year compared to 48  % of those without @entity227 , although the difference was not significant. Regarding @entity262 , there were 6, 5, and 15 cases of @entity6 , @entity407 , and @entity101 , respectively. There was no significant difference between these @entity262 and visual function after adjusted for age and gender. CONCLUSIONS: The percentages of @entity1 with age-related @entity2194 and poor visual acuity in a geriatric health services facility were extremely high. Compared to those without @entity227 , those with @entity227 had lower @entity303 scores and a higher rate of falls.
