South Carolina legislators are
deciding whether people may use a biOptic to
drive. The legislation now heads to the House
floor for debate.
Announcement due soon.
That follows the implementation
of legislation in Arizona, allowing biOptics to
be used for driving, in February 2006.
So
what happened to the BDN 2006 Conference?
Sadly
one of the founders of BDN wanted to leave his
optometric employer, another after relocating
permanently from the UK to the US totalled her
car, and another had oncological problems. Those
external factors inevitably diminished their
capacity to work on the cause. Written enquiries:

Driving at speed, especially on
uneven road surfaces can seriously diminish your
vision. Speed kills. Kill you speed and comply
with driving restrictions.
