Road traffic
Driving poses major challenges to our visual system!
Motorists must observe traffic rules and signs, drive carefully and with defensively, drive the speed limit, keep a safe distance from the vehicles ahead, signal before turning or changing lanes, etc...
On the road, you should note:
- 360° vision
- Sharp far and close vision
- Quick adjustment to lighting conditions
- Good night vision
- Very rapid reactions
- Best judgement of distances
- Balance and coordination
What symptoms suggest impairment of the visual system?
- I get tired and become unfocussed very quickly
- I have problems driving in the dark
- I often feel blinded
- I recognize road signs after my passengers do
- I have difficulty estimating distances, e.g. when passing other cars
- I often see double, e.g. brake lights
- I sometimes fail to see other road participants
