Unique IHBI research carried out under real driving
conditions is investigating the relationship between vision
and driving performance, with a particular focus on the
elderly, who comprise the fastest growing segment of
the driving population.
IHBI researchers are looking at how vision and vision
impairment (resulting from cataracts, glaucoma, macular
degeneration and Parkinson’s disease) affect driving under
closed and open road conditions.
Vision specialists at IHBI are working on projects
funded by the Australian Research Council in collaboration
with researchers from across the USA to examine how
older drivers react to road and driving conditions.
This research is part of the Vision Improvement Domain
myopia, injury, cateracts, glaucoma, misjudgement, accidents...
IHBI researchers are dedicated to improving your view of the world. We are leading the way
in vision improvement research, focussing on improving eye health and health services and
preventing eye injury.
Specialist IHBI researchers are working on advanced vision correction through innovative
vision and optical performance measures and advanced lens designs.
Researchers are also using electrophysiology approaches for evaluating and managing agerelated
macular degeneration, examining retinal image formation and assessing responses in
humans using a variety of techniques with a view to preventing myopia (short-sightedness).
Ophthalmic devices such as software for analysis of ocular aberrations and holographic
devices for vision assessment are also under development.
At IHBI, we can see the possibilities and we’d like to share that vision with you.
