Mississauga, ON – May 2025—As road safety continues to be a top priority in Ontario, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is highlighting the critical role that regular eye exams play in ensuring that drivers maintain clear and accurate vision on the road. Vision is a key factor in a driver’s ability to react quickly to potential hazards, so the MTO encourages all drivers to prioritise their eye health by scheduling regular eye exams.

The importance of vision clarity when driving cannot be overstated. Studies show that poor vision can increase the risk of accidents, especially among older drivers. Recognising this, the MTO emphasises that eye exams are essential for obtaining or renewing a driver’s license and maintaining long-term road safety. Regular eye exams help detect vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and glaucoma, which can affect a driver’s ability to see clearly at night or in low-light conditions.

Having clear, sharp vision is fundamental to safe driving. Drivers who fail to address vision issues may unknowingly put themselves and others at risk. Eye exams can help identify vision problems early and make adjustments, such as new prescription glasses or contact lenses, that can vastly improve driving performance.

Optometry, a trusted provider of eye care in Mississauga, is committed to supporting the MTO’s message by offering comprehensive eye exams and vision assessments. The clinic’s team of expert optometrists works with patients to ensure they meet the required vision standards for driving, helping to reduce the risk of accidents related to poor vision.

Regular eye exams are a simple but crucial way to maintain not just optimal vision but also overall safety while driving. Whether you’re preparing to renew your driver’s license or simply want to ensure your vision is at its best, we are here to help.

The MTO recommends that drivers undergo an eye exam every two years or as directed by their optometrist, especially those over the age of 65, as vision tends to change with age. The Ministry also urges drivers to be aware of their vision needs and report any concerns or difficulties with seeing while driving, such as blurry or double vision, trouble seeing at night, or difficulty with peripheral vision.

Optometry offers a range of services, including routine eye exams, vision testing, and advice on the best corrective lenses for driving. With the latest technology, the clinic ensures that drivers are well-equipped to stay safe on the road.
