Almost half (45%) of optometrists<a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a> in the UK have seen a patient in the last month who continued to drive despite being told their vision falls below the legal standard, research by the Association of Optometrists (AOP) reveals. The Association is calling for the law to be changed to provide the public with protection that is the standard across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The findings come in a year that saw a series of high-profile road collisions resulting from drivers who are shown to have poor eyesight.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Damen, whose father, Jim Tassell, was killed by a driver with vision below the legal standard for driving, said: \u201cMy dad\u2019s death should never have happened. When you get to 70 and renew your licence, you should have to prove your eyesight is good enough to drive\u201d. Ms Damen stressed the onus on Government to protect the public &#8220;How many more have to die before the Government say \u2018enough is enough\u2019 and put a new law in place?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, an estimated 2900 people are injured or killed by a driver with poor vision<a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a> yet the Government has failed to act.<\/p>\n<p>A public poll for the AOP confirms that two-thirds (62%) of people are currently \u201cputting off\u201d a sight test and 36% are relying on an out-of-date prescription. Nearly a fifth (17%) of drivers admitting they have never self-checked their own vision by reading a number plate as recommended by the DVLA<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under existing UK law, drivers undergo an initial number plate test when taking a driving test, then complete a self-declaration for renewing their licence thereafter. These laws are among the most lax in Europe \u2013 with most countries requiring that visual checks are carried out at regular intervals and with an eye care professional.<\/p>\n<p>The AOP is calling for a change to the law that would require drivers to have a comprehensive vision check to prove their vision meets the legal standard when they first apply for the licence and then every 10 years thereafter, or more frequently after the age of 70.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the <em>Don\u2019t swerve a sight test<\/em> campaign, Chief Executive of the Association of Optometrists, Adam Sampson wrote to the DVLA urging action on calls that have been left unanswered for five years, despite the risk it poses to all road users and not just the drivers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sampson said: &#8220;It\u2019s deeply concerning that a 17-year-old who can read a number plate from 20 metres away when they take their driving test, may continue to drive with no further checks for the rest of their life. We have to ask ourselves why the UK system, which relies on self-reporting and a number plate test, continues to operate under a law first introduced in 1937 to the detriment of an individuals\u2019 safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campaign also reminds drivers that undergoing a sight test every two years is currently the best way to protect eye health and make sure they are road safe.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sampson added: \u201cSight loss can often be gradual, and people may not notice changes that could affect their ability to drive so it\u2019s important to remember that regular vision checks are an essential part of helping to stay safe as a driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a public poll of 2000 people, around half (47 per cent) agreed the laws on vision for driving should be more rigorous. Of those who want more rigorous laws, half (49 per cent) also believed a compulsory sight test should be part of a licence being granted and a quarter (26 per cent) wanted motorists to have a sight test at least every 10 years.<a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Members of the public and optometry profession can contact their MP to support the AOP\u2019s call for a change to the law, with more information available on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aop.org.uk\/our-voice\/campaigns\/dont--swerve-a-sight-test\">AOP website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">i]<\/a> AA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/travel\/news-and-advice\/m25-m26-traffic-snow-forecast-b2243360.html\">survey<\/a> of 12,000 motorists, December 2022<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\" name=\"_edn2\">[ii]<\/a> Findings from 1033 practising optometrists, November 2022.
