Older drivers are the fastest growing segment of the driving population, which has implications for road safety. The removal of cataract is a common surgical procedure for older drivers, therefore, it is necessary to determine the effects of cataract surgery on crash risk. This project will be the largest population based study to examine crash risk for older drivers with cataract and the cost-effectiveness in terms of a reduction in crashes. The development of effective countermeasures will have direct relevance for road safety, medical practitioners and licensing authorities in Australia and is also pivotal to reducing the financial burden associated with older driver crashes.

老年司机是驾驶人口中增长最快的部分，这对道路安全有影响。白内障摘除是老年司机常见的外科手术，因此，有必要确定白内障手术对撞车风险的影响。该项目将是最大的基于人群的研究，以检查患有白内障的老年司机的撞车风险以及在减少撞车方面的成本效益。制定有效的应对措施将直接关系到澳大利亚的道路安全、医生和执照当局，也是减少与老司机撞车相关的经济负担的关键。
