Not sure if the subject has come up before; but I have just spent a stressful 3 months waiting to see if I would be able to drive again! I suffer from glaucoma and had to declare this on my 'Over 70' licence renewal. Things then got tricky. DVLA asked me to cut my licence in half and arranged an eyesight test with an optician of their choice. This eventually happened (fortunately locally) and I had a full check. If you aren't familiar with the Field test - you stare into this illuminated box and click a button every time you see a speck of light within your peripheral vision. Depending on how you come out of this, you can retain your licence - or have it taken away! Very tricky, as nerves, anxiety, etc all come into this and affect your result. I then waited (on edge) for about 2 months before getting a result. It was a good one and I can carry on driving my Up!
I don't want to go through that again...but will have to in 3 years time when renewal comes around!
Anyone else been through this?
