Good health is crucial in order not to become a hazard on the road

Everyone, who wishes to drive, has to remember that being in good health is crucial in order not to become a hazard on the road and not risk being a cause of a car accident. Negligence towards ones physical condition can be very dangerous for any driver and might be a cause of a car accident. A good example for this is failure to acknowledge an eyesight problem.

Even though basic requirements of being able to see in a certain distance are mandatory to all those wishing to attain a drivers licence, it is not enough to ensure all drivers have good eyesight or are wearing glasses or eye-lenses of appropriate strength. Eyesight can worsen with years, so regular eye-checks should be carried out by all drivers in order to avoid possible car accidents. Glaucoma and cataracts are both typical eyesight conditions. Even though usually associated with elderly people, in practice they can affect people of any age. Also, the lens of the eye becomes less flexible with age and less able to thicken, and thus less able to focus on nearby objects. This change can come about slowly and it may be difficult to notice any difference, therefore regular checks should be undergone, even if no sign of worsening eye-sight appears.
