The patients had at least 2 years of follow‐up. Two groups of patients were identified; each with one of two types of acrylic <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IOL</jats:styled-content>s. Both groups were given the Driving Habits Questionnaire, by a single investigator.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>90 patients participated; 51 had acrylic <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IOL</jats:styled-content> type A and 39 had acrylic <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IOL</jats:styled-content> type B. The demographics were similar for age, sex, diabetes, glaucoma and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IOL</jats:styled-content> power implanted. Group A was more likely to have road traffic accidents (P = 0.066) and less likely to drive at the same speed or faster than general flow of traffic (P = 0.094). Group A to be less likely to have travelled beyond their immediate neighbourhood, to be less likely to rate their quality of driving at average or above and to be more likely to have difficulty driving at night; but this did not reach significance.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>At 2 years postoperatively, the choice of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">IOL</jats:styled-content> implanted at the time of cataract surgery may have an impact on driving habit and crash risk.</jats:p></jats:sec> |
