Vision rehabilitation therapy for the bioptic driver.

BACKGROUND: The use of a bioptic telescope for driving purposes has been controversial. This controversy has been fueled by confusion over which vision skills are needed for driving and how they are measured and developed. To make this issue even more complex, there are no standardized programs for evaluating patients and teaching basic vision skills needed to drive safely. METHODS: This paper will address vision skills and abilities which, intuitively, play an important role in driving. We will also propose a training program for the successful development of these skills since they relate to active driving, specifically, with a bioptic telescope. RESULTS: Our experience in working with patients who are partially sighted in the driving program seems to indicate that these patients have confidence in using their bioptic telescopic lens system for driving purposes. They appreciate and recognize the responsibility that comes with the independence that is gained from driving with the bioptic system. CONCLUSIONS: It is our hope that by providing these patients with appropriate care and training, we afford them the opportunity to adjust to their bioptic driving lens system and enjoy more years of independence and safe driving.

Factors associated with front row seating of children in motor vehicle crashes.

BACKGROUND: Current safety guidelines recommend that children age 12 or younger sit in the rear seat of passenger vehicles. However, front row seating among these children remains common. To develop future educational and other interventions to decrease front row seating of young children, it is important to examine factors associated with this behavior. METHODS: We identified factors associated with front row seating of children 12 years of age or younger using data from a cross-sectional study of children who were the single passenger in crashes of insured vehicles in 15 U.S. states. Data were collected by insurance claims records and a telephone interview. A probability sample of 3775 crashes representing 27678 crashes with child occupants was collected between 1 December 1998, and 30 November 2002. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to identify specific child, driver, and vehicle characteristics associated with front row seating. RESULTS: When children were the sole occupants in the vehicle, approximately 1 in 3 (31%) sat in the front seat. The child's age and restraint use, the driver's age and relationship to the child passenger, the type of vehicle, and the presence of a passenger airbag were all associated with front row seating. CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions can be tailored to address the specific needs of subgroups of drivers and children to reduce front row seating. In addition, these data could be used to support legislative interventions to limit front row seating of younger children when a teenager is driving.
