Over 1, 500 drivers of public service vehicles in Nairobi had their eyesight checked to create awareness around eye health and road safety during this year's World Sight Day under a campaign dubbed 'Dereva Hodari.'
The drivers were checked on among other conditions; refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hypermetropia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.
Other tests included field tests to see if they have a panoramic view, eye pressure (which leads to glaucoma) and also colour vision which may inhibit accurate driving, especially at night.
