Optegra research highlights number of drivers who find signs blurry

New research from Optegra has shown that 21% of drivers found road signs blurry.

Results also highlighted that 27% found it hard to see when driving at night, 41% noticed a lot of distracting glare from car lights in the dark and 28% admitted that they wish they could see better when driving. Furthermore, 17% of drivers did not feel safe driving due to their eyesight.

Optegra eye surgeon Shafiq Rehman said: ‘This concerning data really worries me – that so many drivers are citing problems with their vision when driving. It is so, so vital that all drivers see well, as we have heard in the news recently, accidents can so easily happen – whether due to a visual distraction like glare from the sun, or indeed glare from other car lights. If you are one of the many who complains of blurred vision or glare, please go to your local optician and find out how to improve this.’
