The Relative Contribution of Vision and Transportation.
A patient walked in to the clinic today for a comprehensive eye check to enable him get a driving job at Peace Mass Transit, this got me elated because some Transport Companies might be on facile process for driver’ selection. The patient was diagnosed with Glaucoma no depression on his visual field at 30°, with proper management he will not be losing his vision. To have such compulsory eye check, the company has successfully prevented irreversible loss of blindness in future for the young man and gotten a good efficient driver who won’t lose his vision in the long run”
