I am perfectly legal to drive.
Until 3 years ago, when|I took VR ,I was an advanced high speed driver, with an annual test.
Although I am now out of practice at it, my eyesight is still good enough, with my new glasses, to meet the requirements for that.
My reaction times are still good, far better than most.
The peripheral vision in my right eye is excellent, I can detect movement,which is all that is needed.
I will give you a run for your money anytime you want.

I have passed the Government Test for eyesight for driving 2 weeks ago.
I have a Certificate saying that I am fit to drive.
Do you?
I have also had an Advanced High Speed Driving Certificate for over 30 years.
Have you?
When I took my eye examination I was not only passed for general driving but also to the same standard as is required for high speed driving.
When did you get tested for that?

Re: New Glasses.
You sound fine to me Swims and if you've passed the tests then your ready to go. I hate new glasses I always have bother for a while, but I only need them for driving and watching telly. I forgot I had them on once and went outside in them and fell over a step that looked as if it was in a different place, lesson learned and now I keep a pair in the car and another with the telly remotes..I only wear them for what they're meant for.

Re: New Glasses.
i am so glad I’m not alone! I have been struggling with my first ever pair of varifocals for about 2 months now. I have just about got used to driving in them (never needed glasses for driving before) but I find reading or using Ipad awful. I get blurriness at either side which stops me concentrating.I thought a pair of varifocals would mean just having one pair of specs. Now I use those for driving and watching TV and my old prescription glasses for reading. I will also now need some polaroid varifocals for driving but I wont order these until I can use these wretched things properly.

Re: New Glasses.
I have used specsavers for years but not online. I'm currently wearing reactor light varifocals. I was told by the optician that I have a small cataract in my left eye but it's too small at the moment to have it removed, my right eye is next to useless, always has been.|
