Very interesting read on the origins of specs

How much do you know about the history of glasses?

In a new interview with All About Vision, Dr Neil Handley, Curator of the British Optical Association Museum at The College of Optometrists, takes us through the fascinating history of glasses, from some of the earliest spectacles to the technology shaping eyewear today.

But how did glasses evolve from simple handheld lenses to the personalised eyewear we use today?

Why do I need good eyesight for driving?

Driving requires your full concentration. You need to be able to see clearly what’s coming up, while also processing threats from the side, and scanning your mirrors. It is important to have good visual acuity, so you can see sharply in the distance, and good visual fields, a phrase describing your ‘all round’ or peripheral vision.

If you have concerns about your sight or simply haven’t had an eye test in the last two years, visit your local optician. An eye test can help you drive more safely, protecting both yourself and others.
