view of sight
With the safety of yourself, any passengers and other traffic in mind, it is nice if you as a driver have a good view. According to an independent study carried out on behalf of Pearle Opticiens, it appears that about one in five motorists or (electric) cyclists indicate that they cannot see clearly, even with glasses on the nose or lenses on the eyeballs.
The research carried out on behalf of Pearle Opticiens shows that approximately 20 percent of motorists and (electric) cyclists do not see optimally. In addition, a quarter of drivers who wear glasses or contact lenses sometimes get behind the wheel without these vision-enhancing aids. Officially that is not allowed.
Pearle Opticiens emphasizes – of course – the importance of good visibility and cites Safe Traffic Netherlands, which advises that everyone should have their eyes checked every two years. Rob Stomphorst, spokesperson for Safe Traffic Netherlands, indicates that good visibility in traffic is of vital importance. “People are often not aware that vision can deteriorate very gradually. That is why it is wise to have your eyes checked by an optician once every two years.” The survey shows that 8 percent of all respondents who regularly sit behind the wheel of a car have never had an eye test. to have last had an eye test more than two years ago.
