[QUOTE="bonerp, post: 432547, member: 1216"] Hi I've had my license renewal due but this time they've refused to issue another because of eyesight issues picked up during the visual field test. I've had 2 vitrectomies one in each eye. The result in that I have lost lower vision - basically when sitting in the car anything below the dashboard and door trim on the left (near side). I can see out of the window thorugh my perpheral vision and sight to the right and straight ahead is 100%. The arrogance of the letter astounded me. Its like they can take everything away from you - ability to work, have freedom etc without ever speaking to you. Having tried ringing and failing, last night my other half got through but they wouldnt speak to her and as it was nearly home time they wouldnt even share a number for me to contact them directly on or they wont call me. Utterly dispicable. Anyway does anyone have any pointers on : a) how to present a case to them b) which acuity visual field test is an alternative? I understand there are 2 - is it Esterman and Goldmann? c) how to stay out of court if possible - using hospital case/opticians info d) how to get files to them safely Having just called them spending £2 per minute on an 0900 number, I got nowehere. The girl was arrogant and bascially said I need to repply. Yet they hadnt even spoken to the eye department I see at the hospital or spoke to my eye consultant. Unreal. thanks Paul - now using taxis!
