Its message is simple: In many cases, people with low vision can and do receive, retain and safely exercise their driving privileges.The book presents a clear, no-nonsense discussion on the realities of low vision conditions, together with a practical program designed to help low vision individuals maximize their chances of retaining and/or extending their driving privileges. It also provides a detailed description of driving vision regulations in every state in the US.Site of interest: www.BiopticDriving.org which is a non profit group concerned with advocating the use of bioptics for driving.
