Driving Skills Tested on Simulator After Strabismus Surgery: A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The sense of vision is responsible for 90% of the information obtained by the motorist. Improvement in binocular visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) achieved after strabismus surgery could have beneficial effects on driving. Our study sought to identify functional improvements (VA and VF) and improvements in driving ability following strabismus surgery.

Methods

In a prospective cohort study, the following parameters are analyzed before and 3 months after strabismus surgery: simulated driving performance (including eye movements and actions on vehicle control), binocular VA, binocular VF, and self-confidence during driving.

Results

Twenty patients participated in the study. The mean preoperative logMAR binocular VA and stereopsis do not significantly diffe
