  1. Visual field loss is associated with falls requiring hospitalization in humans (severe visual field loss (better eye mean deviation < -12.01 dB)) (+14%, adjusted IRR 1.14, 95% CI 1.0-1.25).

ESC Congress 2026 Abstract

Stiffer arteries linked to visual field loss in US adults

The quarter of adults with the stiffest arteries had 4.29 predicted visual field defects, versus 3.06 in the quarter with the most elastic arteries.The quarter of adults with the stiffest arteries had 4.29 predicted visual field defects, versus 3.06 in the quarter with the most elastic arteries.
