Importance Older adults with poor vision are more likely to fall. However, there has been little research to understand whether this association is concentrated among individuals with specific exposures, such as home environmental hazards. Objective To assess the association between differences in visual function, home environmental hazards, and falls. Design, Setting, and Participants This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, which gathers nationally representative data on Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older in the US. A total of 4648 community-dwelling older adults who completed visual function tests and the home environment instrument in 2022 were included. Data were analyzed from September 2024 to March 2025. Exposure Objective measured visual function was assessed using binocular presenting distance visual acuity (DVA; logMAR) and contrast sensitivity (CS: logCS). Home hazards included absence of grab bars in the bathroom, tripping hazards, and broken flooring, as well as an ordinal variable representing cumulative hazards (0, 1, ≥2). Main Outcomes and Measures Falls were defined as any self-reported fall in the past month. Survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression assessed the associations of visual function, home hazards, and falls. Results The survey-weighted prevalence of home hazards among 4648 participants (53.6% female) was 47.0% (no grab bars), 9.5% (tripping hazards), 4.5% (broken flooring), and 7.3% (≥2 hazards). Mean (SD) DVA was 0.10 (0.18) logMAR and mean (SD) CS was 1.72 (0.23) logCS. Worse DVA and CS were associated with falling in homes with hazards, including no grab bars (DVA: OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.02-1.27; CS: OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84-1.00), tripping hazards (DVA: OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.49; CS: OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.78-0.98), and broken flooring (DVA: OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.26-1.70; CS: OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.68-0.93). The presence of multiple hazards further strengthened this association (DVA: OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.12-1.53; CS: OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.86-1.00). Conclusions and Relevance The association between differences in visual function and falls among older adults in this study was shaped by the home environment. These findings underscore the potential importance of considering both intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors in fall prevention and highlight the potential for targeted strategies that include home safety interventions for individuals with poor visual function.

Importance Retinal toxic effects due to pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) have primarily been reported following oral administration of the drug. Because PPS can also be administered subcutaneously, it is important to determine whether this route of administration may also be associated with retinal toxic effects. Objective To characterize the exposure characteristics and clinical presentation of toxic maculopathy following subcutaneous administration of PPS for the treatment of arthritis. Design, Setting, and Participants This multi-institutional, retrospective case series examined 3 cases of pentosan polysulfate maculopathy (PPM) after subcutaneous administration of PPS for the treatment of arthritis at 3 centers in Miami, Florida; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney, Australia, between September 1, 2024, and July 8, 2025. Data were analyzed from July 9, 2025, to July 18, 2025. Exposure Subcutaneous administration of PPS. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was PPM after subcutaneous PPS administration for arthritis. Changes were assessed by examining drug dosage, visual acuity, and features of multimodal retinal imaging. Results Three patients with PPS toxic maculopathy presented following treatment for osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis. The cumulative dose was very low in all 3 cases and ranged from 45.5 to 96 g during a span of 7 to 10 years. The multimodal features in all 3 cases were classic for PPS retinal toxic effects. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this case series suggest that PPS retinal toxic effects can occur with subcutaneous administration alone, at much lower doses than typically occurs with oral administration, potentially due to 10-fold higher bioavailability. Early recognition of this toxic maculopathy with multimodal imaging is important to limit exposure to this drug and avoid incorrect treatments. Given progression of maculopathy even following cessation, caution is advised when using subcutaneous PPS.
