Women Over 50: Your Vision Could Be the Key to Stronger Bones—Dr. Bryce Appelbaum Explains How
Have you ever considered that your eyesight might be affecting your bone health? In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle podcast, I sit down with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, a functional eye doctor and neuro-optometrist who’s connecting the dots between vision, balance, and your risk of falling and breaking a bone. As someone who works with women 50+, fall prevention is one of the top concerns I hear about—and Dr. Bryce is showing us that vision may be the missing piece in our bone health strategy.
We talk about how vision drives balance, posture, and movement—and how poor visual processing, eye fatigue, and depth perception issues can increase your chances of falling. That means more risk for fractures and accelerating bone loss. You’ll learn how strengthening your eye muscles, improving your visual flexibility, and understanding how your eyes and brain work together can support you in staying upright, active, and independent. This conversation is a powerful reminder that bone health starts in more places than we think—including your eyes!
Key Takeaways
The Eye-Brain-Bone Connection – Vision is essential to how we move through space, and poor visual processing can increase fall risk and lead to fractures and bone loss.
Screen Time and Bone Health – Staring at screens weakens the eye muscles needed for balance and coordination, indirectly increasing the risk of falls and bone-related injuries.
Depth Perception and Fractures – Loss of depth perception makes it harder to navigate curbs, stairs, and uneven ground, putting bones at risk of breaks and setbacks.
Eyes as Bone-Supporting Muscles – Just like weight-bearing builds bone, training your eye muscles supports posture, stability, and safer movement.
Vision, Posture, and Bone Loss – Misaligned vision affects posture and body mechanics, creating patterns that contribute to chronic stress on the bones and joints.
Functional Vision for Stronger Bones – Eye-brain-body integration is crucial for fall prevention, making vision training a key strategy in protecting bone density.
Aging Eyes, Aging Bones – As eye function becomes less flexible with age, so does your body’s ability to adapt and avoid falls—unless you intervene with the right tools.
