Trust campaign keeps its eyes on the road

Vision charity The Eyecare Trust has thrown its weight behind a new divers' vision campaign led by Sheffield Heeley MP Meg Munn.

The Eyes on the Road campaign, also backed by insurance firm Westfield Health, has warned of the dangers of driving without roadworthy vision.

Eyecare Trust chairman Dharmesh Patel said: 'Westfield Health and the Trust are delighted to have Meg on board with the Eyes on the Road campaign and we look forward to working with her in the coming months as we promote the importance of good vision when driving on business or for pleasure.'

He estimated there were nine million road-users driving with vision below the DVLA's minimum eyesight standards.
