The Aging eye sees colors differently as we age. The natural yellowing of the lens has a lot to do with this. It is thought that older people see the world through a color similar to ginger ale. This could influence our risk for falls. However, we can adjust for these physical changes by creating color contrast in our homes. Wall color, furniture, rugs are all features we can use to achieve color contrast. Sheen level on furniture, paint, texture, and natural and artificial lighting also play a big role in achieving this goal. Please listen to part 3 of this episode series to learn more about how you can create a safer and more functional home environment.
