This course will begin with a review of the ways in which the relationships among vision and driving performance and safety may be assessed. Important research findings regarding how visual factors (for example visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and visual field testing results) are related to driving performance and collision risk will be reviewed. Then, cases that illustrate the ways the evidence base may be used by clinicians to make decisions regarding drivers (and where evidence gaps exist) will be presented. Finally, a review of recent research advances in vision and driving and future challenges will be presented.Instruction Level: IntermediateLearning Objectives: 1. Review driving performance and safety research methods. 2. Demonstrate how evidence base guides clinical practice, and discuss existing gaps. 3. Describe future challenges and explore research advances in vision and driving. |
