Purpose of Review <p>In this article, we review the current literature on glaucoma and its relationship to various visual functions, driving licensure, driving patterns and public safety.</p> Recent Findings <p>Drivers with glaucomatous vision impairment tend to be involved in a higher number of motor vehicle collisions and self-report more driving concerns and limitations than those without glaucoma, but not all studies agree entirely. This lack of agreement is reflected in inconsistencies regarding licensure standards throughout the United States and across the world. Many opinions exist regarding the best means of testing, training and licensing individuals with glaucoma with the aim of ensuring of public safety while also allowing for individual independence.</p> Summary <p>There is no consensus regarding just how much of a public safety threat glaucoma presents in the context of driving, and what specific visual function parameters contribute most to this potential threat. Continued work in this area will be imperative to understand this important, and growing, issue.</p>
