Steps to keep Your Eyes alert while driving

If one is experiencing ‪Vision Problems‬, one doesn’t automatically need to give up the keys. Taking these steps will help to stay behind the wheel: 1. Have regular ‪Eye Exams‬. One should have their eyes checked annually, to detect vision problems and eye diseases.
2. Don't drive at night, or at dusk or dawn. This is especially important if one is sensitive to ‪Glare‬ or need more light to be able to see clearly.
3. Keep one windshield and mirrors clean. One should also clean the headlights often.
4. Set the seat height so one is able to see at least 10 feet of road in front of the vehicle. Do not wear sunglasses or tinted glasses to fight nighttime glare.
5. Check the ‎Blind Spots‬ often. Also, one can adjust the side mirrors to get rid of blind spots.

If one feels difficulty in driving and experiences headaches, do consult a ‎Eye Doctor‬ at the earliest.

One must be alert to every change while driving.

One must be alert to every change while driving. Sometimes, a bit of caution goes a long way. Too many drivers adapt slowly to changes in their ‪Eyes‬ and maintain driving habits that, while appropriate to younger drivers, become actively dangerous to older ones.
First, stay in the slow lane, and don’t be too quick to pass. Changing lanes opens up blind spots for everyone, and these are much worse for those with ‪Low Vision‬.
Second, be realistic about the ‪‎Reaction Time‬ and the vision. Give cars in the front a wide berth. Also, one must be aware of how far ahead one can see. If the headlights and vision combine to give oneself an extremely short range of vision, drive only at speeds that allow one to stop within that distance, even if it’s a little narrower than one might like.

Eye Fatigue‬, while driving can be monitored by controlling ‪Light Levels‬ inside the car.

Eye Fatigue‬, while driving can be monitored by controlling ‪Light Levels‬ inside the car. Use light judiciously inside the car. Higher light levels inside the car can further compromise night vision by making eyes much slower to adapt to low levels of light.

Some drivers may also want to consider dimming internal displays. This is actually a trick some professional drivers use to reduce Eye Fatigue, and it can come in handy if brightly lit dials are aggravating the eyes. When push comes to shove, be certain that one can actually read important details such as speed and gas levels.

Don't ignore problems like viewing difficulty or headache while Driving, Consulting a Doctor is a must

The Car can only obey the driver's commands if it is in a good state, especially when the driver is coping with impaired vision. One must pay extremely close attention to the condition of the car. This obviously means performing routine maintenance, such as oil changes and tire replacements, etc.

‪Headlights‬ are an obvious place to start. Ensure that the bulbs are in good repair and aren’t about to burn out on. Periodic alignments can also help keep them in peak condition. Also, don’t neglect to maintain ‪Headlight Covers‬. These haze over rapidly, and many owners forget that they need consistent cleaning to stay fully transparent.

Carefully clean ‪Windows‬ and ‪Mirrors‬, and keep defoggers on high if necessary. Dirty or smeared surfaces only make spotting obstacles and other drivers more difficult. Keeping them clean is a low-investment, high-yield way to boost driver safety.

Improve Your Depth Perceptions skills and Ride through the Monsoon

A good driver always adapts to a change in the surroundings. And as the ‪‎Monsoon‬ have marked its entrance, analysing the depth of the surrounding have become more challenging.
If one struggles with depth perception while driving, especially during the monsoon, it can be a scary experience. But there is a way to improve both the vision and the driving to make it a safer, less stressful experience.
By using ‪Spatial Clues‬, most people don't think about how depth perception works? It can be learnt that depth perception is a skill that can be honed. Because, at longer distances, the brain relies mostly on context clues to determine spatial relationships. Training yourself to identify these clues - such as the relative speed of objects in motion, like cars - will enhance your depth perception and lead to a safer driving experience.

Good Vision‬ is crucial for Safe Driving‬

The ability to drive represents a sense of freedom for adults of all ages. But, as we get older, changes to the body and mind can make driving increasingly difficult — and chief among these changes is often the vision loss that naturally occurs with age.
Good Vision‬ is crucial for Safe Driving‬. Nine of every 10 decisions we make behind the wheel are based on what we see. Seniors who want to continue to drive need to be aware of the vision loss and eye diseases that accompany aging — and prepare themselves to address these issues as they arise.So this week let's practise Healthy Driving‬ and make the road safe
