Description In many places, persons with hemianopias are not allowed to operate motor vehicles or obtain a driver's license. However, there is controversy in this legislation; some studies have shown that people suffering from a hemianopia can in fact drive safely. This prospective study aims to characterize how driving ability is affected by different types of hemianopia and quadrantanopia.
