The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is set to publish an update on guidance relating to eye conditions.
According to reports, the DVLA will released a new list of notifiable eye conditions. Optometry Today explained that the move comes after Association of Optometrists (AOP) raised concerns over the current list, which they argue is so extensive it could potentially apply to almost every driver who undergoes an eye test.
The concerns results in AOP writing to the DVLA to call for an urgent review, stating “if the current guidance remains in place, almost every driver who receives a sight test will need to be advised to notify the DVLA".
