老年驾驶员每英里驾驶的事故比任何其他年龄组都多，而且他们的视觉功能往往会受到严重损害，这可能会干扰驾驶。以前的研究在很大程度上未能证明老年人的视力和驾驶之间的联系。我们已经采取了一个全面的方法，通过研究如何在老年驾驶员的事故频率与视觉/认知系统在多个层面：眼科疾病，视觉功能，视觉注意力和认知功能。州政府记录的事故频率的最佳预测因素是一个模型，该模型结合了早期视觉注意力和精神状态的测量，两者共占方差的20%，这是一个比早期研究强得多的模型。那些有视觉注意力障碍或精神状态测试分数低的老年司机比那些没有这些问题的人发生的事故（任何类型的）多3-4倍，交叉路口事故多15倍。
Older drivers have more accidents per miles driven than any other age group and tend to have significant impairments in their visual function, which could interfere with driving. Previous research has largely failed to document a link between vision and driving in the elderly. We have taken a comprehensive approach by examining how accident frequency in older drivers relates to the visual/cognitive system at a number of levels: ophthalmological disease, visual function, visual attention, and cognitive function. The best predictor of accident frequency as recorded by the state was a model incorporating measures of early visual attention and mental status, which together accounted for 20% of the variance, a much stronger model than in earlier studies. Those older drivers with a visual attentional disorder or with poor scores on a mental status test had 3–4 times more accidents (of any type) and 15 times more intersection accidents than those without these problems.
