A low vision evaluation may be beneficial even if you are not interested in pursuing driving. This is a tough decision. Some people who qualify to drive with the use of a bioptic may choose not to because they do not feel that they can do so safely. Their decision is to be commended and respected. As more states amend their laws to allow bioptic driving and as technology becomes more readily available, many people who were told for years that they could not drive are finding that they can now do so legally.
Many people learn to drive when they are teenagers through their school system.
Some states have specific driver training requirements for bioptic drivers. These states will be more likely to have training options available . You do not need an instructor specifically trained in low vision driving techniques, but if you can find one and can afford it, all the better. Check your yellow pages for Driving Schools. If you are a taxpayer you may ask and be granted permission to do the same at your local school.
