Hi All,
Just thought I'd pass along two things on bioptic driving that you might find
useful for those who are considering a bioptic telescope for driving. I hope I
don't sound egotistical or self-serving since it is my work, but I do think
people might find the information useful.
A few years ago I had the privilege of writing an article for AFB's technology
magazine, AccessWorld, www.afb.org/aw<http://www.afb.org/aw>, on bioptic
driving, and last month I developed a webinar on the topic for AFB eLearning
with a great deal of assistance from my bioptic driving guru, Chuck Huss, in
West Virginia. I think both of these will be useful to individuals and their
families interested in pursuing the use of a bioptic telescope for driving.
Here is the link to the article,

Hope this is helpful to you and those considering bioptic driving,
