Drivers who are short or long-sighted could face fines of up to £1,000 and three penalty points for driving without their prescription glasses.
As well as this, motorists may even be at risk of invalidating their car insurance policy if they require prescription glasses and are not wearing them at the time of an incident which is later deemed their fault.
Many short-sighted people will need to wear glasses when driving in order to have a clear view of the road. You may also need to wear glasses for other eye problems.
