Zeiss study highlights poor vision in winter for UK drivers

Almost a quarter (23%) of UK drivers have experienced a road accident or near miss while driving caused by poor vision due to the weather according to a recent study.

The research was carried out by Zeiss Vision Care UK and also discovered that 88% of drivers have experienced poor vision as a result of the weather.

Marketing director at Zeiss Vision Care UK Lindsay Filmer says: ‘Our research shows that 80% of drivers feel more concerned about driving in the winter months, whether that be due to bad light, headlight glare, or unpredictable weather. There are over 33 million motorists in the UK, this is an issue that has wide-reaching implications for all road users.’
