SP - 54 EP - 55 VL - 38 IS - 1 N2 - We undertook an interventional prospective study of truck drivers from a cement factory in Nigeria to assess their visual status after licensing. Out of 149 drivers, 122 (81.9%) were visually eligible to drive and 27 (18.1%) were not. Causes for failing the vision test included refractive error, cataracts, glaucoma, corneal leucoma and pterygia.
