If there is a single concern for persons with SOM, it is the potential loss of their ability to drive safely. 
 
For most of us, that kind of access to transportation is essential to our ability to be employed, visit with family and friends, and do all of the other things that being freely mobile makes possible.  Not knowing for certain that the image you see, whilst driving a vehicle, is the actual situation, or is merely the double-image caused by your eye's movement, is a serious problem for nearly all of us.  It is often the fear of losing our ability to drive that compels many of us to seek treatment.
 
This thread is a place to share your thoughts, feelings, fears and frustrations concerning driving, whether is is a component of your employment or simply a difficulty of daily life.  The subject is wide open.  Twitchers, start your engines...
