Driving-related injuries are a serious public health problem for older people. Visual impairment is a significant risk factor for crashes. This prospective study will determine how the eye diseases glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration impact on driving safety. The outcomes will be used to develop a simple, reliable and practical battery of tests that can identify those at risk of crashes and to inform screening and intervention programs, patient education and driver licensing.

与驾驶相关的伤害对老年人来说是一个严重的公共健康问题。视力障碍是撞车的一个重要风险因素。这项前瞻性研究将确定眼病、青光眼和老年性黄斑变性对驾驶安全的影响。这些结果将被用于开发一套简单、可靠和实用的测试，可以识别那些有撞车风险的人，并为筛查和干预计划、患者教育和驾驶执照提供信息。
