Attaining independent daily living skills is the primary functional goal of low vision rehabilitation. One of the most important of these skills is the ability of the low vision patient to achieve independent travel. In many geographical areas, automobile driving is the only available means of transportation. The utilization of a bioptic telescopic spectacle (BTS) provides a mechanism for some visually impaired individuals to qualify for a driver's licence. However, the use of bioptic telescopic spectacles for driving is an extremely complex and controversial issue. An overview of the current status of the driving laws in various states, the accident rates of bioptic telescopic drivers, and various alternative proposals for motor vehicle licensure for the visually handicapped will be discussed.
