Assessment of an Assistive Technology that Allows Driving a Car with Low Vision

摘要

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a follow-up study conducted on drivers with low vision using a telescopic system and having followed an evaluation and training program and obtained a driver's licence. The study sought to compare the road safety of new drivers using a bioptic telescope and that of two other groups of new drivers of the same age, with and without license restrictions. The study also sought to document the impact driving had on the social participation of drivers with a bioptic telescope and their level of satisfaction with regards to the bioptic telescope.
