What Partners and Drivers Are Saying
Our company has 300 drivers, and 90% of them had vision problems. This is the first time a vision camp has ever been organized at the Transport Nagar truck stop. Drivers who received glasses at the camp improved their vision. Now they’re able to comfortably drive to Mumbai from Delhi within 48 hours, which they weren’t able to do earlier because of their eye problems.

I have been driving for 20 years, but I never had my eyes tested before. Recently I’ve had to stop my truck every two hours to rest my eyes, which get tired and give me headaches. After I received glasses at the camp, everything became clear and I didn’t need to stop my truck anymore. Now I can cover 150 km a day instead of 100 km, and my chance of having an accident is lower.

Driver
Indian roads witness one death every four minutes, with almost 80% attributed to driver error. The problem of uncorrected vision, which endangers the lives of drivers, passengers, and all road users, needs urgent intervention...The #DriveSafeIndia program is a part of our effort to create safer roads across the country, and these eye camps are an important step in the right direction.
