No personal experience of laser.
Asking @Dark Horse In case they know anything. And I think @himtoo has had laser, though possibly not 5.

hi there @richyb
I have had laser on 2 occasions in both eyes ( 2002 and 2012 )
it is all about visual field and ability to read licence plates etc.

I had a shed full of laser treatment around 15 years ago. I did manage to keep my license for a while. Then lost all my field of vision and the my hypo awareness has gone. Its all about field of vision after laser treatment, sorry to say
