TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Assessing visual function in the older driver JO - Clinics in geriatric medicine A1 - Owsley, C. A1 - Ball, Kathleen SP - 389 EP - 401 VL - 9 IS - 2 N2 - It is likely that some older adults will have to be restricted from driving because of serious and irreversible deterioration in skills crucial to driving, due to vision impairment, visual attention deficits, and decreased cognitive status; however many older adults with driving difficulties can improve their driving skills or reduce their crash risk through education or training programs. Research to evaluate interventions such as those previously mentioned has high priority, given society's need to maintain the mobility and personal independence of older adults without sacrificing safety concerns.
