Most of us are probably guilty of taking our eyesight for granted. A side from our required D.O.T. physicals, we probably don’t give it a second thought. But being truckers we should place a premium on eye care as vision is one of the most-used senses we rely upon in our occupation.          

No one is more aware of that than a former steel hauler who lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident, which forced him to give up driving because he’s legally blind. But he still loves trucking, so he’s working in operations for a company in Pennsylvania. And has started an education program for the rest of us.

Eyes on the Road was founded by Mark Harter to provide vision care information for truckers.  Along with the Schepens Eye Research Institute, and the trucker’s web site www.truck.net.
