Driving Simulator Tests Artificial Lens for Cataract Patients From: NASA Tech Briefs - 07/01/2105 An advanced driving simulator will be used to test a patient's driving ability after cataract surgery. The trial will help determine if a newly developed artificial lens will be approved for sale in the United States. The lens replaces the patient's natural, cataract-ravaged lens during surgery, and the trial will determine if it sufficiently reduces visual distractions caused by headlights when driving at night.
