TLDR
The impact of vision on older people's night driving abilities is reviewed, finding correlations between impaired mesopic vision or increased glare sensitivity and impaired night driving, but no correlation was found among other tests; for example, useful field of view or visual field.About:

Personality and attitudes as predictors of risky driving among older drivers.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that theoretical models developed to account for risky driving of younger drivers may also apply in the older drivers, and accordingly be used to inform safe driving interventions for this age group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical redefinition of comprehensive health and well-being in the older adults of the United States
TL;DR: It is found that specific medical diagnoses and health behaviors are far less important than mental health, sensory function, mobility, and bone fractures in defining vulnerable health classes, and this approach provides an empirical method for broadly reconceptualizing health.

Feasibility of a stepped wedge cluster RCT and concurrent observational sub-study to evaluate the effects of modified ward night lighting on inpatient fall rates and sleep quality: a protocol for a pilot trial.
Satyan R. Chari,Satyan R. Chari,Simon Smith,Alison M. Mudge,Alex A. Black,Mariana Figueiro,Muhtashimuddin Ahmed,Mark Devitt,Terry Haines +8 more
TL;DR: This pragmatic pilot trial will assess the feasibility of conducting a main trial to investigate the effects of modified night lighting on inpatient fall rates using several new methods previously untested in the context of environmental modifications and patient safety.

The conspicuity of pedestrians at night: a review
Richard A. Tyrrell,Joanne M. Wood,D. Alfred Owens,Stephanie A. Whetsel Borzendowski,Ashley A. Stafford Sewall +4 more
TL;DR: The basic changes in vision that occur at night for young and old visually healthy drivers, as well as those with common ocular pathology are reviewed, to improve the safety of all road users at night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nighttime driving: visual, lighting and visibility challenges.
TL;DR: The low light levels at night are believed to be the major cause of collisions with pedestrians and cyclists at night, most likely due to their reduced visibility.

Ranibizumab for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Philip J. Rosenfeld,David M. Brown,Jeffrey S. Heier,David S. Boyer,Peter K. Kaiser,Carol Chung,Robert Y. Kim +6 more
TL;DR: Intravitreal administration of ranibizumab for 2 years prevented vision loss and improved mean visual acuity, with low rates of serious adverse events, in patients with minimally classic or occult (with no classic lesions) choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and visual search: expanding the useful field of view.
TL;DR: A model incorporating the effects of distractors and secondary task demands was developed to aid in predicting visual search performance and found a reduction in the size of the field as a function of age.
Journal Article
Visual attention problems as a predictor of vehicle crashes in older drivers.
TL;DR: The identification of a visual attention measure highly predictive of crash problems in the elderly is pointed to a way in which the suitability of licensure in the older adult population could be based on objective, performance-based criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teenage drivers: patterns of risk.
TL;DR: Patterns of risk among teenage drivers form the basis for graduated licensing systems, which are designed to promote low-risk and discourage high-risk driving.

Factors affecting light-adapted pupil size in normal human subjects
TL;DR: Pupil size was found to be independent of gender, refractive error, or iris color (P > 0.1), and the phenomenon of senile miosis is present over a wide range of ocular illuminance levels.
