A Demonstration Project on Driving with Reduced Visual Acuity and a Bioptic Telescope System in the Netherlands
Background: In Europe, driving a passenger car is prohibited if binocular best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is below 0.5 (20/40). Some US states allow people with reduced visual acuity to use a bioptic telescope system when driving. The aim of our study is to introduce a bioptic telescope system for driving in the Netherlands and to investigate whether it enables people with reduced visual acuity to gain sufficient practical fitness to drive in a European setting. Results:Out of 378 persons who applied for information following media attention for the project, 160 candidates volunteered to p... Mehr ...
