Association between vision impairment and driving exposure in older adults aged 70 years and over: a population‐based examination

Purpose:  To examine the relationship between vision impairment and driving exposure (amount of driving one does) in a population‐based sample of older drivers and to examine to what extent cognitive status impacts this relationship.
