Abstract
Glaucomatous damage may lead to morphological and functional deficits. If these deficits affect both eyes, binocular visual field defects may result. If these field defects are in the areas which are most important for the car driver (centre and horizontal meridian) then the driver may no longer be able to participate actively in road traffic. Mesopic vision and sensitivity to glare may also be affected by glaucomatous damage. The most important point is that the patient is alert to problems in this area and he must be directed to possible ways of compensation, especially for mesopic vision and sensitivity to glare. Binocular visual field defects in the relevant areas, however, cannot be compensated for.
