Article Synopsis
- The study explored how first and second eye cataract surgeries affect driving performance using a simulator among older drivers aged 55 and over with bilateral cataracts.
- Results showed a significant reduction in the rate of crashes and near crashes—36% after the first eye and 47% after the second eye surgery—indicating improved safety post-surgery.
- The findings suggest that improving contrast sensitivity may be a better indicator of driving ability than general visual acuity, emphasizing the need for timely cataract surgeries for older drivers.
