Glaucoma and driving

You must be able to see properly to drive safely. Drivers with poor peripheral vision in both eyes are more at risk of crashing than drivers with normal peripheral vision.

Drivers with glaucoma have reduced peripheral vision which may prevent them from seeing cars close to them when pulling in or out of traffic or when overtaking. They may also not see pedestrians stepping onto the road.
