Abstract

Eye functions were studied in 56 drivers who had recently been involved in traffic accidents. There were 17 women and 39 men in the study group, aged 20-87 years. The traffic accidents had happened in intersections and city streets, in parking places and on highways. In seven drivers, a visual impairment was found: two drivers had strabismus and low visual acuities in one or both eyes, two had considerable hyperphoria, and three had a deutan color vision defect. However, comparing the type of accident to the defective eye functions showed no probable correlation.
