: I was curious to know if anyone noticing this site has been diagnosed with complete achromatopsia, and if so, are there any drivers out there w/ the help of BiOptic lenses or otherwise that could give myself and my 13 year old son any hope that he could drive some day. This eye condition is so rare, that information regarding it, can be hard to find. ANY information regarding driving and achromaptopsia would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.


I have had many patients with achromatopsia (complete and incomplete)over the last 16 years go through my driving program and sucessfully obtain a driving license by demonstrating safe driving skills. It also depends on the state in which you live (re: the law) what your options are. Some states are more liberal than others.
