Vision & Driving

There are various reasons from which the ability of a driver is affected, such as age, eye health and also the driver’s mental state. In addition to these reasons, there are other external factors that undoubtedly affect our vision and at the same time our ability to drive safely and comfortably, such as strong or low light and also the weather conditions such as rain, snow, sun and fog.

Perhaps the most important role for safe and relaxing driving occurs by our visual acuity, i.e. how strong our vision is in distinguishing a distant object, the visual field which is also been affected by the speed of our vehicle but also our perception in bright contrasts.
Also, as we drive it is a fact that we blink our eyes less, as we want to pay more attention to the road and the various information that arises. It is recommended that, in the case we feel that our eyes are burning or that they are starting to dry, to make a short stop and hydrate them with artificial tears or water.
Daytime Driving
Especially in summer and on also sunny days, it is necessary for our own safety and also other people’s safety, to wear high-quality sunglasses that can filter ultraviolet light (UV). At the same time, wearing high quality sunglasses can protect our eyes from wind and dust and also increase our perception of contrast.
