Self-reported driving difficulty in patients with bilateral cataract
Purpose: The presence of cataract causes reduction in visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity(CS) and thus can affect individual’s daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported driving difficulty in patients with bilateral cataract. Methods: A total of 99 participants...

Methods: A total of 99 participants aged 50 and above, with bilateral cataract, who possessed a valid driving license and drove regularly were chosen for this cross-sectional study that looked into their visual functions (VA and CS) and driving difficulty using the self-reported Driving Difficulty Questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.04§7.22 years old.
