Longitudinal Simulated Driving Performance and Rates of Progressive Visual Field Loss in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between longitudinal changes in driving performance, assessed through driving simulation, and rates of progressive visual field (VF) loss in patients with glaucoma.

Methods

Ninety-five patients with glaucoma underwent Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP) and driving simulations every 6 months. Rates of VF loss were estimated by changes in mean sensitivity (MS) of the integrated binocular VF over time. Driving performance was assessed using a simulator by maintaining lane position on a winding road while responding to peripheral visual stimuli to assess divided attention. Reaction time (RT) recorded the duration between the presentation of the stimuli and the participant's response. Linear mixed models evaluated
