“When people think about driving safely, they often focus on speed, distractions, or road conditions. But good vision and eye health is even more essential. By sharing our advice with RoadSmart’s members and followers we hope to ensure drivers understand how important good eyesight is when they’re behind the wheel and encourage all drivers to go for their regular sight test.”
Dr Paramdeep Bilkhu PhD BSc(Hons) MCOptom DipTp(IP), Clinical Adviser at The College of Optometrists
“Road safety begins with the driver and rider having legal and healthy eyesight. The importance of regular eye checks cannot be underestimated which is why we’re delighted to be working with The College of Optometrists. Our partnership ensures our members and the wider public hear from expert professionals giving clear, informed advice.”
Nicholas Lyes, IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Communications
