Good Vision
Requirements

The Ohio State Optometric AS
sociation, sponosred "Save Your
Vision Week." March II, is en-
phasizing good vision for the safe
driver. The passing of Ohio's FL
nancial Responsibility Act makes
it important for the average driv-
er to be more careful when driv-
mi. A car in good mechanical con-
dition is only one responsibility
of a driver to highway safety.
Know your traffic codes, be court
eouS on the road, do not let mis-
takes in judgment lead you into
an accident. Ninety per cent Of
your actions and judgments while
driving are based ON what you see.
For safe driving it is your re-
spOnsibility to know your visual
capacity-then drive within your
viual bounds. Eyes change with
age and health 1t is not enough
to think you see as well as yoh
ever did bst yohr responsibility
to know. More than 70 million
Americans-about half the popu-
lation need professional atten-
ton to see properly on their jobs.
as driver and for living normal
lives. Inadequate vision is second
only to neglected teeth among
Americas most common health
problems.
The required seeing skills for
safe driving are:
Clear Distance Vision - Ability
to see the car ahead as we'll as
oncoming cars for a reasonable
distance.
Wide Field of Vision - Ability
to see objects on either side of
the road.
Depth Perception = Ability to
judge speeds and distances ac-
curately.
Light and Dark Adaptation =
Ability to accommodate to the
darkness of the highway after the
brightness of street lights or head
light glare.
It takes time to see and addi-
tional time to act. Your vision
your advance warning system
should be at its bhst. AS inef-
ficient vision is a major causitive
factor in highway accidents.
