Abstract

The impaired driver is evaluated for driver licensing according to a functional ability profile. This test correlates, in increments, the physical or medical ability of the driver with the risk categories and the vehicles the driver is permitted to operate. The person is responsible for his fitness to drive. The physician may help in patient evaluation by participation in a medical advisory board or in public education. Guidelines for 11 areas of potential driving impairments were developed in the state of Utah. These principles are illustrated with visual standards.

How much blame can be placed on laser photocoagulation for failure to attain driving standards?

One hundred consecutive patients who underwent bilateral pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy were assessed in accordance with the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) guidelines. Visual acuity was documented, and visual fields were assessed using the Esterman test. Among the 30% of patients who failed to reach the visual standards required for a driving licence, three groups were identified: those who failed to attain either the required binocular visual acuity (n = 4), or visual fields (n = 9), or both (n = 17). Previous studies reveal a large variation in DVLA field test failure following PRP treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Our results show a 19% failure rate solely attributable to treatment, which is at the lower end of previously reported studies (20-80%). The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. We conclude that modern treatment procedures for proliferative diabetic retinopathy may be undertaken with the knowledge that in the majority of cases a patient's driving licence is unlikely to be revoked.

Passing the DVLC field regulations following bilateral pan-retinal photocoagulation in diabetics.

Twenty-one diabetics who had had bilateral retinal panphotocoagulation preserving a visual acuity sufficient to pass the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre (DVLC) requirements were assessed with regard to their ability to satisfy the DVLC visual field requirements. Of the 19 patients treated with the laser alone, 17 met the requirements for a licence to drive a private vehicle. The use of the Xenon photocoagulator and large total burn area following laser was found to be associated with an increased risk of DVLC field test failure. Adequate PRP with 200 micron burns appeared to induce neovascular regression and be compatible with passing the DVLC field regulations in many patients. Panphotocoagulation of patients with early proliferative retinopathy using 200 micron burns does not appear to jeopardise a driving licence. Guidelines for laser treatment in diabetic retinopathy aimed at preserving the driving field are presented.
