The Relationship between Central Visual Field Damage and Motor Vehicle Collisions in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients

摘要: PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between visual field (VF) damage and history of motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) in subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: MVC driving habits were recorded using patient questionnaires 247 POAG patients. Patients' attitudes (carefulness) estimated Rasch analysis. The outcomes 52 total deviation (TD) values integrated binocular VF (IVF), better worse acuities (VAs), age gender was analyzed principal component analysis logistic regression. RESULTS: 51 patients had MVCs. Significant difference observed without MVCs only for: VA, a single TD value superior-right VF, typical distance driven week (unpaired t-test, p = 0.002, 0.015 0.006, respectively). There not significant mean (MD) IVF (p 0.41, regression). None components significantly correlated outcome (p>0.05, polynomial regression analysis). MD derived Person parameter (R2 0.023, 0.0095). also positive 0.005, CONCLUSIONS: In this study patients, related to central damage. These results suggest function is straightforward, careful consideration should be given when predicting patients' ability their VF. Language: en
