[QUOTE="RobAO, post: 1699453, member: 468812"] Hello Everyone, I have been T2 for 20 years, 50 years old. About 7 years ago i had hemorrhage in my right eye requiring vitrectomy and laser, leaving very impaired vision on that eye. All was well, with regular checkups to the left eye until a few days ago when i was advised that new vessels were developing. My consultant has recommended laser but was very vague on the driving implications other than I need to advise the DVLA about the treatment, he wouldnt offer an opinion on DVLA reaction and continued driving in the short term or longer term. Driving is essential to my job and in very frightened about the future. Can anybody tell me what is likely to happen: When do i tell DVLA, is it after first session of do i wait till the course is complete What will happen when i tell the DVLA, will my licence be revoked immediately or do they wait to see the extent of the treatment needed Will i nee to have a filed test between each session How long will it all take to get a licence back if it is revoked (assuming i pass the field test) etc No scare stories please im very frightened and depressed and need more information Thanks Rob [/QUOTE]
