Older drivers with cataracts<\/a>, even only in one eye, have a greatly increased risk of car crashes according to a study published in the national journal\u00a0Archives of Opthalmology.<\/em><\/p>\n Dr. Cynthia Owsley, and other researchers at the University of Alabama, studied 274 older drivers.<\/p>\n Even though most of these older drivers with cataracts thought that they saw perfectly, they were six times more likely to have automobile accidents.<\/p>\n Their vision, as measured by vision charts, did not predict which older drivers were likely to be involved in accidents.<\/p>\n Many older drivers are driving with impaired vision and don’t even know it, and by age 75, cataracts will affect a majority of all people.<\/p>\n Snead Eye Group offers the latest methods in cataract detection and treatment with state-of-the-art technology and a professional, caring staff who understands the needs and concerns of our patients.
