You may have read this story or heard it on the news recently as it's got a lot of coverage.
The Association of Optometrists have said that all drivers should have compulsory eye tests every 10 years. With one in three optometrists reporting that they have seen patients in the last month who continue to drive with vision below the legal standard.
Currently, a person taking their practical driving test must be able to read a number plate from 20m (65ft) but there is currently no follow-up check with the Department for Transport saying that changes to eyesight should be reported by motorists themselves to the DVLA and drivers being required by law to make sure their eyesight is good enough to drive.
Data from the Department for Transport shows seven people were killed and 63 were seriously injured in accidents on Britain's roads last year when "uncorrected, defective eyesight" was a contributory factor.
When drivers pass the age of 70, they must actively declare that they are fit to drive, every three years and meeting minimum eyesight requirements is part of this, however optomoetrists have said that with this self declaration Britain "falls behind many other countries."
