The effect of strabismus on object detection in the ring scotoma of a monocular bioptic telescope

People with reduced visual acuity are permitted to drive with the aid of bioptic telescopes in the USA, the Netherlands, and Canada. When viewing through a monocular bioptic telescope, suppression of the deviating eye in strabismus may reduce the ability of the non‐telescope eye to detect objects whose images fall in the ring scotoma area of the telescope eye, which could impair detection of traffic‐relevant events. This ability to detect stimuli in the ring scotoma area was compared for strabismic and non‐strabismic patients.
