Your vision is responsible for around 90% of the information we use for driving, which is why even a small change in vision is cause for concern.
We’re spending more time in our cars commuting and traffic is ever-increasing. So how do you know if you might be at risk? We break down the 7 most common contributors to crash risk so that you can safeguard your vision on the road.
