Supported by the findings of a major review of vision standards for driving in Canada, the Canadian Ophthalmological Society's Committee on Vision Standards for Driving issued a series of recommendations in 2000 to the Canadian Medical Association. Many of these recommendations, including changes in visual acuity and visual field standards and consideration for exceptional cases, have been implemented across Canada. Canadian courts have stated that it is important to provide on-road assessments for visually impaired individuals who wish to continue driving. Most Canadian provinces and territories will allow visually impaired drivers a license if they pass the test. However, these on-road assessments use scarce resources and may be expensive for the driver. Limited licensure is a widespread practice, but whether it effectively protects drivers is not established. Except for Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, all Canadian provinces and territories have legislated mandatory reporting of visually impaired drivers by vision care providers.
在加拿大一项重要的驾驶视觉标准审查结果的支持下，加拿大眼科学会驾驶视觉标准委员会于 2000 年向加拿大医学会发布了一系列建议。这些建议中的许多建议，包括视力和视野标准的变化以及对特殊情况的考虑，已经在加拿大各地实施。加拿大法院表示，为希望继续开车的视力受损人士提供道路评估很重要。如果视力受损的司机通过测试，大多数加拿大省份和地区都会允许他们获得驾照。然而，这些道路评估会使用稀缺资源，而且对司机来说可能很昂贵。有限的许可制度是一种普遍的做法，但它是否能有效地保护司机尚未确定。除了艾伯塔省、魁北克省和新斯科舍省，加拿大所有省份和地区都立法要求视力保健提供者报告视力受损的司机。
