The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is expected to issue an update on its guidance on a major health condition, reports say. The AOP (Association of Optometrists) has called for an urgent review of its guidance for eye conditions.
Optometry Today has said the DVLA will release updated guidance in relation to its list of notifiable eye conditions. The AOP raised serious concerns over the published list and highlighted that“if the current guidance remains in place, almost every driver who receives a sight test will need to be advised to notify the DVLA.”
As Birmingham Live reports, at the time, the DVLA agreed to remove the list of eyesight conditions and confirmed it would ‘welcome the opportunity’ to work with the AOP to revise the current guidance.
