A multidisciplinary approach will ensure that people in the community are prevented, as much as possible, from having trips and falls and requiring long-term hospital stays.I support the approach that is taken by the Government and the great work that is done by our community optometrists in ensuring that many more people go for free eye tests. Giving people up-to-date eye tests will prevent them from having some of the trips and falls that cause them to go into hospital.In my own case, I have learned to live with sight loss for many years.
