The field test may useful for these people and is often offered to anyone (diabetic or non-diabetic) over the age of 40 as the risk of developing glaucoma increases with age. Diabetics who have had retinal laser should inform the DVLA as they may develop field defects that adversely affect their driving. The DVLA may then request a field test from an approved opticians.
