The New Drive Drunk
Astigmatism, that is the word of the day. The reason for this is safety, realizing that your condition may call for better treatment so you aren’t an unknown victim.
This condition causes extreme impairment in the departments of depth perception. The level of impairment is so high that drivers aren’t making the safest calls when their astigmatism is in full flare. I’ve seen anything from late braking to other road-symptoms such as poor left hand turns in front of oncoming traffic. All of these were not confirmed astigmatism incidents of course. This is only a hypothesis at this time, that the untreated condition of astigmatism is the root cause of and is related to automobile crashes in the form of rear-ends, head on collisions and much more.
Thank you for reading.
