A member asked:
Would someone with hemianopia be allowed to drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risky: Hemianopia refers to a loss of the visual field entirely on one side (from both eyes) . So if right sided, then nothing on the right is seen. In our traffic pattern, a right hemianopic could drive for limited purposes infrequently. Someone with left hemianopia cannot safely drive under any circumstances as most road hazards are from the left.
