Article 4 Bioptic Telescope Driving and Low Vision Rehabilitation: A Review
Background: Driving, often a goal for patients with low vision, is associated with personal independence for many individuals. Oftentimes, an optometrist may be the first person who informs a patient that they do not meet visual acuity requirements for driving. In this respect, it is important for optometrists to be familiar with the laws in their individual states and if permitted, to consider...
متن کاملCharacteristics of on-road driving performance of persons with central vision loss who use bioptic telescopes.
PURPOSE To compare the on-road driving performance of visually impaired drivers using bioptic telescopes with age-matched controls. METHODS Participants included 23 persons (mean age = 33 ± 12 years) with visual acuity of 20/63 to 20/200 who were legally licensed to drive through a state bioptic driving program, and 23 visually normal age-matched controls (mean age = 33 ± 12 years). On-road d...
متن کاملDriving Hazard Detection with a Bioptic Telescope
Driving by visually impaired people using bioptic telescopes is permitted in 43 states, yet their use remains controversial. One of the concerns is that the ring scotoma (blind area caused by the telescope magnification) may block the field-of-view, impacting detection of potential hazards when looking through the telescope. We evaluated the ability of the non-telescope eye to detect hazards in...
متن کاملThe Introduction of Bioptic Driving in The Netherlands.
BACKGROUND: In many states of the U.S.A., people with moderately reduced visual acuity e.g., 20/50 - 20/200) can legally drive with the aid of a small, spectacle-mounted ("bioptic") telescope. We conducted a demonstration project to assess the viability of implementing bioptic driving in The Netherlands. In this paper we describe the framework of the project from conception through to realizati...
متن کاملA Recording and Analysis System of Bioptic Driving Behaviors
Millions of visually impaired people do not drive because they fail to meet the general vision requirements. There is a legal option in 38 US states where people with moderate central vision loss (e.g. visual acuity better than 20/200) may be permitted to drive while wearing spectacle-mounted bioptic telescopes. However, the safety of bioptic driving is still highly controversial, because biopt...
