As we age, it may become difficult to see people, objects and signs due to decreased peripheral vision and/or glare from rain and headlights of oncoming cars.
Tips for Driving Safely with Vision Problems:
- See your eye doctor at least once a year for a check-up.
- Make sure your prescription is up-to-date and accurate. Always wear corrective eyewear while driving, if directed by physician.
- Reduce or stop driving at night if you have difficulty seeing in the dark.
