Assessing fitness to drive in older glaucoma patients

The effects of glaucoma are usually measured with visual field tests. When the visual field defects are mild to moderate driving is still allowed and many glaucoma patients do continue to drive. However, assessing the visual system might be hard to do reliably in older people and it might not be sufficient for selecting unfit drivers. Therefore, the OcuDrive test package has been developed. The OcuDrive test package assesses the entire neurovisual system, including measures of executive function, processing speed, and attention. In the current study, OcuDrive results will be compared to driving simulator performance. The main objective is to find the tests from the package that discriminate best between fit and unfit drivers.

Objective: To examine the OcuDrive test package in glaucoma patients and controls in relation to fitness to drive. The main objective is to find the tests from the package that discriminate best between fit and unfit drivers.

Drivig simulator performance can be predicted by OcuDrive test package performance

N/A

All participants will undergo (neuropsychological) tests aimed at measuring cognitive domains relevant for driving, as well as several Ocusweep tests. To evaluate driving performance, a driving simulator will be used.
