I'm driving again because it was suggested to me by my specialist, with my advanced glaucoma and loss of vision above my central vision, that I could do this special test for driving. I did this and I passed so I am driving again. I have an unrestricted license but, I have in place my own rules. I never drive with anyone, I am aware of my loss and in my case, I keep my focus/vision high. I drive with focus and concentration and - most importantly for me - I drive locally to shops, doctors etc, and generally in familiar localities. I am so grateful to be driving again, and I guarantee you, being given this trust - you will never meet a more careful driver!
