No I doubt BiOptics are well known about in your country. Until the last few years BiOptics were not known anywhere in Europe. In the USA for example BiOptics have been used for the past 50 years for driving and many other tasks! That's such a pity because as I say, apart from driving a BiOptic can be a hugely useful visual aid for any situation. These days most eminent Optometrists and Ophthalmologists are at least aware of BiOptics, if not their fitting and prescription. No I don't think there is information about the Dutch and Belgian trials on the web yet. But there will be soon on this site no doubt. There is a conference in London in June where you could find out all about this. Why not go? There is a professional in Norway who specialises in BiOptics who could prescribe and fit you, but it’s not as simple as that. You would also need training on how to use the BiOptic to drive. Knowing how to drive a car in the first place is hugely helpful. Perhaps you could practice on a private road somewhere. First of all though, you need to see a specialist to see if the BiOptic could help you. Persistence and determination are important if you are to win over those who tell you “you can’t”. Have you searched this site for more info? Good luck. Tim
