Abstract
At initial diagnosis, based on VA in the better-seeing eye, a high proportion of patients with bilateral GA were ineligible to drive and approximately 7% were eligible for UK blindness registration. The subsequent reduction in VA that occurred in the better-seeing eye would render a further two-thirds ineligible to drive. These findings emphasize the severity of the visual disability associated with GA secondary to AMD.
