Diminished vision

Reduced vision affects people of all ages, impacting their ability to see, read, and comprehend while driving, especially at night and in inclement conditions. The most common vision problems experienced by older drivers include cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma. While vehicle features cannot necessarily overcome the affects of these diseases, drivers can benefit from a few features that they may overlook when shopping for a new car, such as:

...visors and extendable sun visors help drivers adjust to and prevent glare.

..larger audio and climate controls with contrasting text easy-to-see controls make drivers more confident and less distracted.
