Eye-tests for road users, more particularly for applicants for a driving license, are considered primarily as a way to improve road safety. By means of an example, based on recent overall data from the Netherlands, part from statistics, part from estimates, it is concluded that prohibition from driving based on an eye-test can not be justified on grounds of accident reduction. In the Netherlands an eye-test (consisting of a simple measurement of the visual acuity) is obligatory as a screening test only for applicants for a driving license. If the result is negative, the applicant has to consult an ophthalmologist, who may advise against the granting of a driving license.
