Before you set off, make sure your vision is road-trip ready.

Clear eyesight is essential for spotting signs, judging distances and driving comfortably in changing light conditions.

If you're driving in

🇫🇷 France,
🇪🇸 Spain or
🇨🇭Switzerland

and you need spectacles to drive, make sure you have a spare pair with you in the car.

If you're stopped and can't produce them, you could be 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱

Whether you're cheering from 📣

the sofa, 🇬🇧
the pub 🍺
or the garden, 🏡

make sure you're seeing every pass, save and goal as clearly as possible.

If you're squinting at the TV or struggling to follow the action, it might be time for an eye test.

We are frequently been asked about the Governments proposed legislation for vision requirements and eye examinations for drivers over 70.🚗

The Department for Transport is consulting about possible changes to legislation when you need to renew your driving licence.🛂

At present you can pass your driving test with a rudimentary check on your vision when you are 17 and no checks on your vision is required until you are 70.🎂

Even then you only have to say you think your vision is adequate

🔺 there are exceptions for people with certain eye conditions

As part of a larger study the government has just published advice for use of screens in young children

🔺𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝘀 Avoiding screen time other than for shared activities that encourage bonding, interaction and conversation.

🔺𝟮 𝘁𝗼 𝟱-𝘆𝗿𝘀 Try to keep it to no more than one hour a day. Avoid at mealtimes and in the hour before bed

🔺𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 Choosing slow-paced, age-appropriate content. Fast-paced, social media-style videos should be avoided.

🔺𝗖𝗼-𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 Watching or using screens together is better for children's development.

Early years matter because the eyes are still developing, and good eyesight helps children reach their potential at school and socially. Research links excessive childhood screen use with digital eye strain and disrupted sleep. There is also strong evidence that children who spend more time outdoors have a lower risk of becoming short sighted.

W𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽?

Children spend time outdoors Two hours of outdoor activity a day is ideal

Use night settings on your devices Helps children sleep by reducing the amount of blue light given off by the screen

Limit screen time in line with government recommendations

Make sure digital devices are turned off at least an hour before bedtime
