Your eyesight
Please put X as appropriate
A.
Can you meet the legal eyesight standard
for driving using classes or corrective
lenses if needed?
Yes No
B.
Do you need to wear glasses or corrective lenses
to meet the standard? Yes No
I don't need glasses or corrective lenses to meet the legal standard for driving. How, then, to answer item A? For that matter, how to answer item B?
Anyway, I got one of them wrong. So, the document was returned to me with a request to correct the error.
This set me thinking. Or perhaps worrying. Am I in the early (or even advanced) stages, not of loss of vision, but loss of comprehension faculties?
Surely only one question is required in order to confirm the state of one's vision, and that is question B. If you have to wear glasses or corrective lenses to meet the standard, then presumably the reissued driving licence will include this requirement.
It does seem to me that the DVLA has made a meal of this item. Or maybe it is me who is doing so!
