 Session 1: “Eyes on the Road – Neuro-Visual Aspects of Driving Safety and Rehabilitation.”

Speaker: Dr. Lindsey Berry, OD 

ABSTRACT: Driving is one of the most dangerous tasks people partake in on a daily basis. Vision plays a critical role in the safety of driving and can significantly hinder one’s ability to drive if there are any deficits. 20/20 vision is one of 17 visual skills necessary for optimal visual performance. Other aspects of vision needed for safe driving include peripheral vision, eye tracking, eye teaming, eye focusing, processing speed, reaction time, depth perception, and visual spatial awareness. People with neurological problems, whether developmental or acquired, often have deficits in one or more aspects of visual performance. These deficits may inhibit them from obtaining a driver’s license or returning to driving, thereby limiting their independence. However, rehabilitation exercises can be performed to improve visual performance and to teach people to use their visual system effectively for safe driving.

 LEARNING OBJECTIVES –

• List the vision requirements for driving in Texas
• Describe the areas of vision that are needed for safe driving
• Identify signs and symptoms of visual deficits related to safe driving
• Create rehabilitation exercises to improve visual performance for safe driving
