    Mass visual field screening for driver

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology and Optometry
    • Public Health
    • Traffic Safety

    Background:

    • Visual field loss can impair driving ability and compromise road safety.
    • Early detection of eye diseases is crucial for managing conditions and preventing vision loss.
    • Large-scale screening programs can identify individuals at risk within specific populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of implementing mass visual field screening for driver's license applicants.
    • To determine the prevalence of significant visual field loss in this demographic.
    • To evaluate the potential of visual field screening as a tool for early disease detection and traffic safety enhancement.

    Main Methods:

    • Collaboration with the California Department of Motor Vehicles and Synemed, Inc.

  • Administration of visual field screening tests using the Fieldmaster Model 101-PR automated perimeter.
  • Testing conducted on 1,027 eyes of driver's license applicants.

    • Main Results:

    • Approximately 5% of the tested eyes exhibited significant visual field loss.
    • The automated perimeter provided a feasible method for mass screening.
    • The findings suggest a notable prevalence of visual impairment within the driving applicant population.

    Conclusions:

    • Mass visual field screening in driver's license applicants is a feasible and valuable approach.
    • This screening method can aid in the early detection of eye diseases in large populations.
    • Implementing such screenings may contribute significantly to improving overall traffic safety.
