Driving patterns in older adults with glaucoma
BACKGROUND The ability to drive is important for ensuring quality of life for many older adults. Glaucoma is prevalent in this age group and may affect driving. The purpose of this study is to determine if glaucoma and glaucomatous visual field (VF) loss are associated with driving cessation, limitations, and deference to another driver in older adults. METHODS Cross-sectional study. Eighty-o...
متن کاملCreating a driving profile for older adults using GPS devices and naturalistic driving methodology
Background/Objectives: Road tests and driving simulators are most commonly used in research studies and clinical evaluations of older drivers. Our objective was to describe the process and associated challenges in adapting an existing, commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS), in-vehicle device for naturalistic, longitudinal research to better understand daily driving behavior in older drivers. Design:...
متن کاملSubjective quality of vision before and after cataract surgery.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of cataract surgery on subjective quality of vision. METHODS The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire (Italian translation) was completed before and 3 months after cataract surgery in 4 groups of patients recruited from September through December 2010: first eye with ocular comorbidity, first eye without ocular comorbidity, second eye with ocular comorbidi...
متن کاملCorneal thickness and endothelial density before and after cataract surgery.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Deturgescence of the corneal stroma is controlled by the pumping action of the endothelial layer and can be monitored by measurement of central corneal thickness (pachymetry). Loss or damage of endothelial cells leads to an increase in corneal thickness, which may ultimately induce corneal decompensation and loss of vision. Little is known about the effect of moderate reductions...
متن کاملEndophthalmitis: controlling infection before and after cataract surgery
Endophthalmitis is a rare, but serious, postoperative complication of cataract surgery. It can have a devastating consequence on a patient’s vision: some patients may lose all light perception. The incidence of endophthalmitis has been reported to be between 0.13% and 0.7%.1 The primary source of this intraocular infection is considered to be bacteria from the patient’s ocular surface (cornea, ...
