– Vision Standards Committee for Driving
By Duncan Anderson, Chair
The Vision
Standards Committee for Driving met in Vancouver in June
2004 to consider a number of clarifications to the recommendations
made to the Canadian Medical Association three years ago.
A number of amendments to the vision standards will be
brought forward for consideration in November in Ottawa
at a meeting of the Canadian Council for Motor Transport
Administrators, a body made up of medical directors of
transport from the provinces and territories. Any changes
made are usually the purview of this group and are usually
reflected in driving standards across Canada.
