Had my eye test for DVLA
Posted: Mon 25 Apr 2005 12:36 pm
Well i went and had an eye test this morning for the DVLA so that i can get my licence renewed.
Not sure if i have passed though the lady examiing me thought it was ok!
I scored 6/12 with right eye with lens reading the chart and just the top line barely without a lens. On the left i just saw a light box, no change there then! I think i can see better than this, but it hurts to sit in the dark and look at a lightbox which is so bright and to try to read the blurry letters!! I do need light to see but looking at one directly is a nightmare.
On the visual test i only missed one light so i'm hoping that this will be ok. I was told they are looking at this test more than the chart as i can read a number plate at the required distance. I was surprised really knowing how little sight i have with the left eye at how much my right one makes up for it! Its strange isnt it, but then i guess that 13 years of wearing one lens only means i have definately compensated!!!!!!
Any ideas if this is good enough?? Though i guess i will know soon enough when they write to me!! Just hoping and pleading that i get my licence back, am hoping to go to Scotland for music festival this summer and was planning to drive there!!! LOL!!! Well we have to stay positive dont we!
Thanks for reading and for all your support, i'll let you know what happens,
