Bradley E. Dougherty studies how vision loss affects everyday activities such as driving, and how assistive technologies (including advanced driver assistance systems and bioptic telescopes) can help people with visual impairment, including older adults and those with age-related macular degeneration, remain safe and independent. His work combines clinical vision science with practical evaluation of real-world driving performance.
