"Remember, most people in Scotland are eligible for an NHS funded eye examination, so we’d encourage drivers to be on the safe side and pop in for a free check-up, so their prescriptions are as up to date as possible this winter."Sarah continued: "Glare is one of the most common causes of road accidents, however, there are steps drivers can take to help reduce the risk of bright sunlight and light reflection on the roads.
"One thing drivers can do to minimise irritation is to angle their heating vents away from their face, which prevents hot air directly blowing into their eyes and drying them out.
