Night driving and assessment of mesopic vision for older adults

Description
For many older adults, night driving is difficult due to age-related changes affecting vision under low light and glare conditions. However, there is a lack of evidence for healthcare practitioners to base their advice to patients about visual fitness to drive safely at night. This research investigated the relationships between self-reported vision-related night driving difficulties, visual function tests and night driving performance. It was found that vision tests conducted under lower light levels, similar to the night driving environment, were important for predicting poorer night driving performance and for assessing drivers reporting high levels of vision-related night driving difficulties.
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.
