Some new information, but not enough to purchase the book.

It was what I expected and had useful information. Large type so it is easy to read. I would recommend.

A great test for learning about bioptic driving.

an amazing book for low vision people who's interested in driving or just want to be informed about the aspects of it

The authors offer people with low vision an optimistic, do-it-yourself, down-to-earth approach to obtaining or retaining a driver's license.My husband has age-related macular degeneration, and we have gone the rounds of doctors, specialists, laser and photodynamic-something-or-other treatments, plus the DMV.This "practical guide" explains various eye diseases cataract, AMD, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, optic atrophy, corneal dystrophy, stroke at least as clearly or maybe even more clearly as have the professionals whom we have consulted.The guide urges readers to educate themselves about their state's DMV vision policy, investigate the various aids and devices available for vision-impaired drivers, and then come to their own conclusion as to whether they should be behind the wheel.Among the amazing devices described in this guide are minifying mirrors by Brookstone, bioptic telescopes (Galilean and Keplerian) mounted on regular glasses, a telescope implanted in the eye, and the GPS-based iRadio system being developed by Motorola.Surprise! there are personal trainers who specialize in teaching low-vision drivers!The 104 pages of appendices are a valuable resource, providing definitions, contact information for further information and support, DMV vision requirements in 50 states plus D.C., and a bibliography.This book is IN BIG PRINT!
