The majority of employers believe driver eyesight testing would help to reduce collisions and save businesses and organisations money.

An independent survey of more than 100 heads of UK companies found that 59 percent of employers believe that regular eyesight tests for employees who drive for work purposes would help to reduce collisions. Just 10 percent of employers surveyed said they did not think regular driver eyesight testing would help to reduce accidents.

Furthermore, 61 percent said they also thought that testing the eyesight of employers that drive would save the business or organisation money overall.
