That second article doesn't read correctly, it states that the driver can't get any redress from the company that done the test because it closed down, then it says it was Specsavers who done the test as they were the only approved company.
It also states that you couldn't get a second opinion from another optician, that's not true and you can appeal to get a recheck from any optician with the correct machine.
They refuse to name the maker of the machine.... they have to legally name them if there was a fault but its not difficult to find out it was Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer.The fault was found very early on so they changed supplier but the fault was still there with different software used so that points to operator error.
I was following this story at the time as I have an eye issue which means I have used the analyser to test my eyesight.

Simple way around it is have a part on the drivers licence that says you need corrective lenses to drive, it's as easy as putting a pair of glasses mimic by the driver number.

if you need glasses for driving (rather than for reading) you should have an 01 on your licence, if you don't you are committing an offence by not informing DVLA which will also invalidate your insurance.

Not strictly true - see paragraph 3; 'This doesn’t include being short or long sighted or colour blind. You also don’t need to say if you’ve had surgery to correct short sightedness and can meet the eyesight standards.' |

www.gov.uk/driving-eyesight-rulesNot strictly true - see paragraph 3; 'This doesn’t include being short or long sighted or colour blind. You also don’t need to say if you’ve had surgery to correct short sightedness and can meet the eyesight standards.' As I said..... 'IF YOU NEED GLASSES FOR DRIVING' As he said, you're wrong. I need glasses for driving as I am short sighted, but as the link posted states I do not need to inform DVLA, just make sure I wear glasses. So your statement that I'm committing an offence and will invalidate my insurance by not telling DVLA is just not true. |

ok fair enough I stand corrected, that's changed in the last few years as it used to be the case that if an optician told you that you had to wear glasses to meet the standard of vision you had to declare it.(hence the point of having the 01 so a police officer could easily check)
