  • Title: Telescopic lenses and driving.
    Author: Keller JT, Eskridge JB.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1976 Nov; 53(11):746-9. PubMed ID: 998717.
    Abstract:
    In some states, persons with significantly reduced visual acuity are being licensed to drive while wearing telescopic spectacle lenses (TSL). In order to evaluate possible visual field limitations present with these devices, the peripheral visual fields of a group of normally sighted subjects were measured while they wore TSL. Severely restricted central fields and sizeable ring scotomas were present with all units tested. These result indicate that driving with TSL should be discouraged.
