“…However, even in the adjusted analysis, visual and lower limb disabilities were slightly but significantly associated with the risk of causing a collision. Although the former association was also reported in some earlier studies (52)(53)(54), the causal link between visual defects and traffic crashes, as well as the need to change current visual standards for driving, are still an open debate (52,(55)(56)(57). With regard to limb disabilities, the wide range of variability in the specific nature of the handicap makes it difficult to offer a more specific analysis of our finding, which is in agreement with the association reported by Marottoli et al between foot abnormalities and risk of being involved in a traffic crash (58).…”

“…16 The visual difficulties affecting the ability to drive mentioned by the participants related predominantly to ophthalmic diseases. Studies have shown that, in addition to alterations in vision caused by age such as the decline in visual acuity and loss of field of vision, 17 some diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and diabetes can increase damage to vision. 10,12 Visual problems that lead, for example, to poor judgment of speed and distance between vehicles and incorrect interpretation of signs are among the causes of many accidents.…”

“…Estudos apontam o campo visual como sendo um indicador mais importante que a acuidade visual central durante o ato de dirigir 12,13 . Neste quesito, a legislação brasileira também é mais estrita, exigindo uma visão na isóptera horizontal de 120° em cada olho, frente a 70° (em cada olho na isóptera horizontal) nos Estados Unidos.…”

“…É um bom preditor do desempenho de condução em pacientes com acuidade visual normal, mas cognição comprometida 15 , além de ser melhor do que a idade cronológica para a identificação de motoristas em risco de acidentes 12 . Em alguns estados americanos o UFOV tem sido usado experimentalmente.…”
