Abstract:
The number of people above 60 years of age will increases due to the growth of the population in the first half of
the 21st century, particularly in Malaysia. This has led to the growing number of older drivers which is often
unavoidable as driving is a necessary task that not only achieves mobility but also shows a sign of independence and
improves self-esteem, which are essential towards effecting the lifestyle. This paper briefly looks at common elderly
related visual impairment, reviews design approaches and tools that tackle or include these issues in the design
process and further outlines new research needs. It is the intention of this paper to steer the research direction of
the development of future design approach and tools that would enhance the capabilities of designers to be well
prepared to cater for inclusive design for the elderly, more specifically for visual impairments issues.
