Summary

The aim of this study is to measure fitness to drive in patients with a visual and a cognitive impairment. To do so, Ocusweep is used in patients with glaucoma and Mild Cognitive Impairment. The participants will be divided over four groups; patients with glaucoma, patients with cognitive impairment, patients with both and a healthy control group. Differences in performance on Ocusweep in the four different groups of participants are expected. These effects may be related to fitness to drive, which is why those results will be compared to traditional neuropsychological measures of fitness to drive. the hypothesis of the current study is that the Ocusweep performance is related to performance on other measures of fitness to drive.

Conditions

• Glaucoma
• Mild Cognitive Impairment

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ocusweep test battery	Ocusweep test battery to measure vision, visual system and cognitive performance including attention (Comparison of Ocusweep system to conventional neuropsychological test methods) (With the help of Ocusweep tests, information is obtained about the functioning of the whole visual system - from the ability of the eye to see to the efficiency of the brain to process visual information and the accuracy of eye movements)
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Neuropsychological test battery	Conventional neuropsychological test battery to measure executive functioning, attention, visuoconstructive abilities and processing speed
