flag UK optometrists and families urge regular eye tests for drivers to improve road safety.

flag The Association of Optometrists and bereaved families are urging the UK government to implement regular eye tests for drivers, citing safety concerns. flag Currently, drivers only need to pass a basic vision test once. flag The association reports that 60% of optometrists have seen patients driving with vision below legal standards. flag The proposed changes would require vision tests when applying for a license, renewing it, and every three years for drivers over 70, potentially affecting millions. flag The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency is considering the new regulation to reduce accidents caused by impaired vision.
