Driving With Low or Impaired Vision in Arizona

Bioptic Telescope | Driving with Visual Impairment | Ability to Drive
Arizona, Chandler, Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, AZ

The ability to drive is a privilege that many of us take for granted. Driving affords us extended freedom of mobility and greatly enhances our quality of life. Visually impaired individuals can feel restricted and isolated when faced with losing their ability to drive.


A Bioptic Telescope can restore driving freedom to visually impaired adults. Arizona is one of 41 states that will grant a driver’s license to some visually impaired people when they drive using a bioptic telescope. Driving with a visual impairment while using bioptic telescopes is a very important personal decision that should be made collaboratively by the individual, the low vision eye specialist, and the motor vehicle department.
