I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 1st November 2019. Please find below the response to your request:
How many road accidents occurred (i.e. where individuals were injured / at risk of injury) due to their eye sight / wrong eye prescription (i.e. contact lenses or glasses) between 2009 – 2019?
If the data does not stretch that far back please share results from when they are available. Please break down the figures in an excel file that lists results by month and year.
