    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Traffic Safety
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Vision impairment is a critical, yet under-recognized, factor in road traffic accidents.
    • Adequate visual acuity is essential for safe driving operations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the underappreciated role of inadequate vision in causing traffic accidents.
    • To emphasize the importance of visual capabilities for safe driving.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on vision and driving safety.
    • Analysis of accident causation factors.
    • Public awareness assessment regarding vision and driving.

    Main Results:

    • The connection between poor vision and traffic accidents lacks sufficient public and research attention.
