Autumn edition of Acuity now available

Our cover feature, Headlight dazzle: a glaring problem looks at the rising number of complaints about headlight glare. According to a 2022 RAC survey, 65% of drivers say it takes between one and five seconds to see clearly again after being dazzled, and for 12%, it can take six seconds or longer. Professor Joanne Wood MCOptom and Professor Stephan Voelker, who both have a special interest in vision and driving, provide a timely exploration of this phenomenon, and share their insights. There is also advice you can give to your patients about this issue (one non-interactive CPD point).
