Farsightedness in the context of road traffic

visual impairment, in which nearby objects appear blurry and fuzzy, while distant objects are seen clearly. This affects the driver’s ability to perceive the details of the road situation up close, both in the car and on the road. In traffic psychology, farsightedness is a factor that affects the accuracy of distance estimation, reading road signs, speedometer readings and making preventive decisions during stops or maneuvers. Poor near vision can lead to delayed response times to emergencies, difficulty regulating speed and distance, and an increased likelihood of accidents. Therefore, the assessment of hyperopia is an integral part of neuropsychological and optometric screening of drivers, the development of vision training programs and the use of corrective glasses or assistive devices to ensure safe driving and improve traffic efficiency.
