Thanks for clearing all that up, as even being a nurse i didnt know that! I did wonder why i didnt get any answers from so many questions when i kept asking optometrists and i have been to so many. It was just like wait to be seen in the hospital which is always at least a 6 month wait. My consultan...

LOL!!!!! :lol: Hehehehe, that was way too funny as you know when i said that i kinda thought i was going mad! In A and E we have a chart but to be honest i havent actually looked at the bottom line as i cant see to read it as it is not bright enough and when someone is reading it i am paying more at...

Drew I just wanted to say that i am sorry that you have lost your job, that is really sad. I so hope that you can work through this. I have a lot of trouble with my lenses and have had to take time off work, but as a nurse they are very understanding. I dont really have any advice on this, but im ho...

This was very interesting to read as with my post on DVLA i am in the same position. I was told by my consultant when i was learning to drive that i had to declare it as it would void my insurance if i didnt, so i have done for years. Now i have to take a visual field test as i had my licence stolen...

Thanks for all of your replies. I have booked in for a visual test on Monday, luckily DVLA pay for it. Am so hoping to pass it and get my licence back, this is what you get for having to replace it because of a thief :roll: Sorry just really hoping it goes well. Will let you know what happens, hope ...

I guess i am just worrying over nothing, as as everyone keeps telling me cross the problem of losing your license if it happens, not now when i havent taken the eye test yet!! I am just worried as i know how bad my eyesight is and i just need to keep my car. It is my ind...

Just before Christmas someone stole my purse, unfortunately in it was my drivers photo card. So i sent off to DVLA for a new one. They have informed me that before they can issue me with another one i need to have my eyes examined to see if i am fit enough to drive. :cry: I know this has to be done ...

Ok then I went private for about 6 years i think as my parents took me to a local optician in Wales as i had glasses as a child from about the age of three for a squint. This was in my left eye, which i see very little out of and haven't worn in lens in for about 10 years now. I think the glasses la...

Not really sure what to put here, been having a deep think on it. I guess i didn't tell my employer not because i didn't want to but because i kinda thought well i have put up with this for so long and it is my problem so i just deal with it. I know that that sounds like such a martyr but i guess i ...
