Older patients with cataracts who have surgery and intraocular lens implantation are involved in half the car accidents of those who do not have surgery, United States researchers report. Despite increased crash rates in older drivers compared to middle-aged drivers, few primary prevention interventions focus on the older driver, point out investigators from University of Alabama at Birmingham, in Birmingham, Alabama.
The effectiveness of proposed interventions — education and cognitive training, for example — has not been determined. They suggest another method of reducing automobile crashes involving older people might be the treatment of chronic diseases and conditions that cause functional impairments.
