Vision/visual Perception Flashcards
Visual acuity red flags (clinical testing)
eyes together should have better or same acuity as eyes separately
Poor driving maneuvers seen with impaired visual fields
- drifting over lane markings to side of impairment
- Missing important environmental cues on impaired Side
- Missing turning lanes or not seeing vehicles passing
- Limited use of side mirrors
Medical conditions that impact visual fields
Homonymus visual field loss
glaucoma
Cataracts
DM
Retinopathy
Macular degeneration
Normal visual field @ 20 mph
104 degrees
Normal visual field @ 40 mph
70 degrees
Normal visual field @ 60 mph
degrees 40

Clock drawing test
Screens long-term memory, short-term memory, visual perception, visuospatial skills, selective attention, abstract thinking, executive skills
65+ years
Score of 6-7 = pass
Score if 5= questionable
Score if 4 or less = fail
Errors are considered abnormal and linked to increased crash risk
Maze test
Purpose is to screen driving for older adults with mci or early dementia
Screens visual perception,visuospatial skills, abstract thinking, executive skills (planning and foresight)
Older adults
Timed out at 3 minutes
61 seconds or longer with/without errors = not safe to drive
60 seconds or less, 2+ errors = not safe
60 seconds or less, 0-1 errors = has those skills needed for driving
Document:
Was maze completed
Time in seconds
# of errors
Trails A and B
Working memory, visual processings, visuospatial skills, selective and divided attention, psychomotor coordination, sequencing, visual scanning, visual motor coordination
Document %ile and time
B should be within 3 minutes and less than 3 errors
Mvpt
Figure ground, spatial orientation, visual memory, visual closure, processing speed
3+ years old
3+ errors on visual closer = 3.75x greater chance of at fault crash
5 errors on visual closure = 5 c greater chance of at fault crash
Ot- Driver off road assessment battery
Sensory, physical, cognitive-perceptual and behavioral skills
Weschler digit symbol test (revised)
Visual perception, motor and mental processing speed, visual motor coordination, short term memory, visual incidental learning
Strong predictor of crash risk with MS
Symbol digit modalities test (SDMT)
Attention, visual scanning, motor speed
Mixed conclusions in research regarding predictability of driving outcomes
