Blurred vision and a recent fall of elderly parent?

Evaluation: If the person hit their head in the fall, or if there was no apparent reason for the fall, their doctor will probably want to do a neurological examination and get an image of their brain. From there a strategy can be planned. Sorry for the trouble, but 52 years old is young, in my opinion. They may need an eye exam as well.

Retinal detachment : Is a bad one that needs to be fixed quickly or the eye goes blind. Vitreous hemorrhage is a possibility, maybe even traumatic cataract, maybe an orbital fracture or hemorrhage. There are numerous possibilities. Don't forget to bring the glasses along for the eye exam..
