Re: Over 70’s Drivers....What Do You Think Of This?
I'm really worried about it, I drive to and from Thurso several times a year. I enjoy it and I find the long drive quite pleasant. When I'm in Perth I drive myself and the dog to the beach most Sundays, about 50 miles, or sometimes we go over to Glencoe for a dander through the hills. Sunday is always an away day. I have no worries about night time driving and sometimes do an overnight to or from Thurso as the roads are quieter. This is really going to screw up my life big time if it happens.

I have spoken to others who have undergone cataract ops and several have noticed the same effect as me, but most still carry on driving at night so are a hazard to other road users.
Why not have a word with your GP and ask if you can be referred to an eye specialist?
They won't stick pins in your eyes unless you allow them to!
