An Australians organisation is helping people with low visibility to keep their drivers licence and remain as independent as possible.
Founded by Belinda O’Connor in 2017, Bioptic Drivers Australia is providing support for low-vision drivers and raising awareness about central vision loss.
The Wire’s contributor from 1-R-P-H Maryanne Gore began by asking Belinda O’Connor to describe the device she uses to drive to work with her vision loss.
