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.
