Description
Little is known about the impact of visual impairment on the road scanning behaviour of older drivers. This study examined the eye movement patterns of older drivers with simulated blur, as well as true glaucomatous visual impairment, while performing driving-related tasks, to assist in better understanding the mechanisms underlying the elevated crash rates of visually impaired older drivers. Visual impairment from either simulated blur or glaucoma resulted in reduced laboratory-based hazard detection and closed-road driving performance, with associated alterations in eye movements. Among those with glaucoma, some of these alterations were potentially compensatory, which may facilitate improved driving-related performance.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
