Description |
Driving is often the primary presenting concern in high school age students presenting for low vision rehabilitation services. The issues of social equality and independence are paramount for the teen, as are the typical parental concerns surrounding issues of safety, and the impact on future vocation and career options. Given that effective driving requires attributes other than adequate visual reserve, a careful assessment of visual ability and surrounding comorbidities, maturity, and judgment must be performed. |
