Individuals with severe visual field loss from stroke and glaucoma could have on‐road driving safety comparable to normally sighted drivers

This study suggests that individuals with VFL can drive as safely as age-matched, normally sighted controls. Simulator and on-road tests are critical tools for individualized assessment, challenging the sole reliance on perimetry for licensing decisions. These findings support the inclusion of practical on-road driving tests as a regulatory option for individuals with VFL, promoting mobility while maintaining road safety.

Abstract

This study suggests that individuals with VFL can drive as safely as age-matched, normally sighted controls. Simulator and on-road tests are critical tools for individualized assessment, challenging the sole reliance on perimetry for licensing decisions. These findings support the inclusion of practical on-road driving tests as a regulatory option for individuals with VFL, promoting mobility while maintaining road safety.
