Raghavan N S shared, “For World Sight Day 2024, our goal was to make Indian roads safer. Following the successful launch of our campaign, we are committed to continuing this impact and reaching even more drivers. At Titan, we believe in driving meaningful change, and our partnership with IVI reinforces our commitment to supporting commercial drivers, the backbone of our economy. By providing them with essential eye care, we are working towards a safer and more secure driving environment for all.”
Vinod Daniel said. “With over 200 million Indians living with uncorrected refractive errors and studies showing that 60% of road accidents are linked to poor vision, ensuring clear eyesight is critical. Over 90% of driving decisions rely on good eyesight, making vision correction crucial to reducing fatalities and injuries on our roads.”
“This collaboration with Titan Company Ltd will contribute to improving drivers’ vision and making our roads safer,” he added.
