Informin DVLA of sight problem

[Lynn White]

Hi Claire...

Ahhh - I thought you were getting them mixed up!

This tests that you haven't got tunnel vision... and as KC does not affect the retina like glaucoma for example - then your field certainly in your seeing eye should be fine.

This what the DVLA says about it...

Complete loss of vision in one eye. Must notify DVLA but may drive when clinically advised that

1) driver has adapted to the disability and
2) the prescribed eyesight standard in the remaining eye can be satisfied and
3) there is a normal monocular visual field in the remaining eye, i.e. there is no area of defect which is caused by pathology.

Basically your results will be assessed by a consultant and advice given accordingly - it is difficult to say exactly what would happen...
