Visual Function and Driving Safety

Changes in the functional binocular status of older children and adults with previously untreated infantile esotropia following late surgical realignment

“…50,51 Esotropic patients show significant improvement in all activities that require recognition of the presence of objects in their peripheral visual field after their eyes are aligned surgically. 48 We were not able to demonstrate fusion or stereopsis, as tested with the Worth 4-Dot test, Titmus stereo test, or synoptophore, in any patient postoperatively, and could not confirm the findings of Morris et al, following surgical alignment of adults.…”

Visual function in professional truck drivers

“…Visual ®elds are one of the most important parameters to study for a driver's license. Visual ®eld loss in patients with retinitis pigmentosa has been shown to correlate with the trac accidents of these patients (Keltner and Johnson 1992). Wood and Troutbeck (1992) found that the constriction of the binocular visual ®eld to 40°or less signi®cantly depressed the driving performance, resulting in slower and less accurate driving.…”

Visual Processing Impairment and Risk of Motor Vehicle Crash Among Older Adults

“…36,37 In recent years, there has been a surge of editorials in medical journals stressing that physicians need tools to assist them in identifying unsafe older drivers. 18,19,[38][39][40] On the basis of available data, 5,7,9 one could argue that the heart of this assessment battery should be functional evaluations of skills relevant to driving. Our results suggest that a useful field of view assessment would be a good candidate for inclusion in a functional test battery.…”
