This review discusses the history of bioptic driving, summarizes the evidence regarding safety, and suggests future directions for research. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002...

Add some more info about this item... The purpose of this study was to investigate the telescope use behaviors in natural daily driving of people with reduced visual acuity licensed to drive with a bioptic (a small spectacle-mounted telescope).
