Vision and Driving

Course overview

How do common vision disorders relate to driver performance, and what training and remediation techniques can be implemented to improve driver performance? Nathalie Drouin, OTR/L, CDI, CDRS, tackles these questions in this course, beginning with eye anatomy and the visual system. She discusses disease and disorders of the eye, including acuity loss, eye movement disorders, binocular vision disorders, specific eye diseases affecting vision, and others. Participants will learn how to implement training and remediation techniques, including mirrors, tinted lenses, bioptic lenses, head movement exercises, and other techniques. Graphic representations of the eye and eye disorders, as well as live demonstrations of resources, supplement Nathalie Drouins lecture.
