Camp for drivers to be a sight for sore eyes: Do your eyes glaze over or get watery while behind the wheel? Don't turn a blind eye to it. The police department has found that poor eyesight has led to a majority of accidents in the city. To nip this disconcerting trend in the bud, the department has now made it mandatory for drivers of autorickshaws, taxis, schoolbuses and police vehicles to undergo a thorough eye examination. It has tied up with Disha Super Specialty Eye Hospital in Hubballi for a camp that will be conducted till January 31. All minor eye care needs of the drivers will be taken care of by the hospital.
