1. People with low vision can now drive using compact telescopes mounted on their glasses or contact lenses to magnify their vision. 2. In some countries like the US, people with mild to moderate central vision loss but intact peripheral vision can apply for a driving license if they complete low vision driver training and use bioptic telescopic lenses. 3. These telescopic lenses can be mounted on glasses and allow the user to switch between regular and magnified vision just by tilting their head, allowing both hands-free use like for driving and better vision for other tasks.

1. Low Vision : Driving Is Possible Too
There was a time when people with low vision thought that they could
no longer drive or even watch a cricket match live in a stadium. But
That’s not the case anymore. Today, They can resort to using small and
compact telescopes to see things better. And these are especially useful
if users need to keep their hands free for extended periods, like when
they are driving.
Currently, Some countries like the US, permit people with mild to
moderate levels of central vision loss – but with intact peripheral vision
– apply for driving privileges when using a bio optic lens system, after
completion of formalized low vision driver education training. These are
spectacle – mounted telescopes that can be pre-made or can be
custom-fit given a patient’s eyeglass prescription in the telescope.
Henry Greene, Co-founder of US-based Ocutech, which has bio optic
telescopes, says that by attaching bio optic telescope to Optical Lenses,
the user can switch their sight between their ‘regular vision’ and the
‘magnified vision’ offered by the telescope by slightly tilting their head
downward, since the telescopes are usually angled upward. For
instance, when the user is walking on a pavement and wants to see a
tilt his head down while looking straight ahead to view a magnified
image through the telescope.
There are other companies too that offer a variety of such telescopes
including monocular and binocular, focusable and fixed-focus, Galilean
and Keplerian designs, hand-held and spectacle mounted, in a diverse
range of magnifications. According to Eschenbach, another
manufacturer of Bio Optic devices, any task distance (near,
intermediate, far away) and any task duration (short – term or long –
term).

2. Low Vision : Driving Is Possible Too
A child with low vision may experience difficulty in acquiring concepts.
Vision is an organizing sense that allows us to perceive objects at a
distance and to make connections between these objects. Many
concepts developed in childhood are learned incidentally through
vision. If the visual sense is impaired, concepts may be incompletely
developed or missed entirely. Because of this, it is important for
children with low vision to directly experience as much of their world as
possible and to receive augmented instruction in making connections
between objects and processes.
Much confusion exists in the terminology surrounding low vision. Often
times, individuals may use the terms partially sighted, legally blind,
blind, and low vision interchangeably. Although out of date, the term
partially sighted refers to individuals with visual acuities ranging from
20/70 to 20/200. For example, a student with acuity of 20/100 is able
to see at 20 feet what an individual with 20/20 visual acuity sees at 100
feet. Legal blindness refers to individuals with central visual acuities of
20/200 or less in the better eye with the best possible correction, or
with visual fields of 20 degrees or less. Blindness is a more general term
used to describe a person with a significant loss of vision, usually in the
range of 20/200 or less. Often times, the term is used to explain an
individual with very little or no functional use of vision. Low vision is a
term related not only to visual acuity but often includes an individual's
level of visual functioning. A precise definition for an individual with a
visual impairment who is not functionally blind is an individual who has
"difficulty accomplishing visual tasks, even with prescribed corrective

lenses, but who can enhance his or her ability to accomplish these tasks
with the use of compensatory visual strategies, low vision and other
devices, and environmental modifications" (Corn and Koenig, 1996).
