Association between baseline visual impairment bilaterality and severity with any incident falls
| Characteristics | Any incident fall | |
| OR (95% CI) | P value | |
| Presenting bilateral/unilateral categories of VI | ||
| Normal vision in both eyes | Reference | |
| Mild VI in one eye, normal vision in the other | 1.21 (0.82 to 1.80) | 0.320 |
| Moderate-worse VI in one eye, normal vision in the other | 1.04 (0.67 to 1.62) | 0.833 |
| Mild VI in both eyes | 1.79 (1.07 to 2.98) | 0.024 |
| Moderate-worse VI in one eye, mild VI in the other | 1.58 (1.01 to 2.47) | 0.043 |
| Moderate-worse VI in both eyes | 1.22 (0.79 to 1.88) | 0.365 |
