The study population included 47.3% moderate and 52.7% advanced glaucoma patients. Twenty-two patients (40%) had CS less than 2.00 in their worse eye (mean: 1.93; Standard deviation (SD): 0.27; range: 1.4\u20132.3), out of which five had moderate glaucoma and seventeen had severe glaucoma. Only two patients with advanced glaucoma had CS &lt;1.5 (visual impairment). Around half of the participants (30\/55; 54.5%) passed the EVFT. The driving dependency score (mean \u00b1 SD) was 1.78 \u00b1 0.92 (range: 1.0\u20133.0), driving difficulty score (mean \u00b1 SD) was 69.38 \u00b1 20.43 (range: 0\u2013100), and driving space score (mean \u00b1 SD) was 3.15 \u00b1 0.85 (range: 0\u20136).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with moderate to advanced glaucoma with reduced CS face significant difficulties while driving.
