Yes.

Eyesight can deteriorate gradually, you don’t always realise how much it’s deteriorated until you have your eyesight tested.

Wouldn’t you rather know that the HGV / PSV driver ahead of you on the motorway had a good field and accuity of vision?

If you already wear glasses or have eye tests anyway then you have them every 2 years :wink:
Its quite scary when i take my glasses off as to how much i cant see, fun when im driving :laughing:

even if you don’t drive or wear glasses, you should have your eyes (not just your sight) tested. they can pick up on way more than the fact you need goggles. and it’s often the only routine health screening people get.
