The DVLA is to update its guidance on eye conditions within the coming weeks, according to reports. Optometry Today says the DVLA will release updated guidance on its list of notifiable eye conditions.
The Association of Optometrists raised concerns over the list that could apply to almost every driver who has an eye test. The rules would mean that almost every driver wearing glasses needs to report themselves to the DVLA.
Adam Sampson, chief executive for the AOP, said: “We’ve continued to have an open dialogue with the DVLA on this important issue to work towards a pragmatic solution for our members, patients and the DVLA.
