Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency: Opticians
- Question
- How the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency selects and monitors the commercial opticians who conduct field tests to assess drivers’ peripheral vision for the renewal of driving licences.
- Answer
-
My Lords, qualified opticians and optometrists must apply for registration declaring their ability to undertake the specific visual field test required for driver licensing purposes. Each visual field test result is monitored by DVLA’s medical group to ensure it satisfies the registration requirements. Those who are no longer able to conduct tests to DVLA requirements will cease to be used.
