Driving and Vision in an Aging Society.
Part of a special issue on aging and the senses. The writer argues that there is a need for the development of an empirical, justifiable, and equitable set of vision standards for the licensure of eligible drivers over the age of 65, whose numbers are set to increase to 50 million in the U.S. by 20...
