We look forward to meeting you and facilitating your visual journey.

Driving Assessments

The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) administer the visual standards for driving. 

​

Following head injuries or a stroke, individuals may experience vision changes that affect their compliance with RMS standards. Understanding these standards and engaging in effective communication with RMS's medical administration division can be a complex task, so we provide an assessment, discussion and communication service for patients whose vision changes may impact their ability to meet RMS standards.
