[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2044265, member: 372717"] Wow, that's a bit harsh. I'm borderline on the glasses front: pass the sight test without but see better with, so I usually but not always wear them. I also have light sensitive lenses which darken when the light is in my eyes. I think if I was challenged for wearing them in the UK I would demonstrate that I could read the number plate at the required distance.....Do you think that would work? I've been a T1 with a driving license in the UK, Australia and now New Zealand. The UK allowed me to self certify (with details of my diabetic clinic) but Australia required a doctor's note (and the doctor checked my eyesight) while NZ required a doctor's note, and checked my vision at the licensing centre. As a T1, no one wants to give me a license for more than 3 (or 2) years, so I've done a lot of renewals over the last 40 years....:) [/QUOTE]
