Effects of age and driving style on closed-road driving performance

Predicting components of closed road driving performance from vision tests.

PURPOSE Mild cataracts can interfere with visually dependent everyday activities, although they only minimally affect static visual acuity. This study compared the effects of simulated cataracts with that of optical blur on driving performance and determined the extent to which acuity could account for variations in driving performance either alone or in combination with supplementary vision te...
