    • Hello Jjm welcome to BTG     Where your husband had his test should be able to give you that information. Did you keep a copy of the results  before sending to the DVLA?   Things do take time to recover, in my case 2 years. I kept retaking the eye test. You have not mentioned the reasons or timing.   I looked this up and hope this helps:   What is the standard visual field for DVLA? You must have an uninterrupted horizontal visual field of at least 160 degrees with an extension of at least 70 degrees left and right and 30 degrees up and down. No defects should be present within a radius of the central 30 degrees.   Driving eyesight rules - GOV.UK www.gov.uk https://www.gov.uk › driving-eyesight-rules   What is the criteria for Esterman visual field pass? For a binocular Esterman field test to be considered as normal, there should be no more than 3 missed spots, of which not more than 2 shall be contiguous in the visual field defined horizontally by 60 degrees either side of the primary position and vertically by 20 degrees above the primary position and 30 degrees ...   Please find links below that may help:    https://web.behindthegray.net/topic/6865-reapplying-for-license-with-exceptional-circumstances-uk-only/   https://web.behindthegray.net/topic/10610-help-needed-re-criteria-to-reinstate-driving-licence-under-exceptional-circumstances/   https://web.behindthegray.net/topic/9789-getting-so-stressed/   Good luck, please let us know how you get on.   Take care Tina      
    • We’ve just had DVLA notification re results of an Esterman Test, stating my husbands driving licence will not return. . How can we get a complete explanation of what the graphic is showing and what a pass should look like.TIA

    • Hi Catlaura      I had to have lots of tests to check my vision. The DVLA wrote to the Consultant that had approved my tests were ok to drive after 2 years. I did not have to re take my driving test. The DVLA after lots of polite phone calls chasing, returned my licence.   Good luck  lets us know how you get on.   Take care Tina xx
    • Welcome..As Super Mario said 3 months is really early into your recovery.  I know it is hard to be patient but brains heal slowly.  I too had problems with crowded places...I think for me it also involved and still does the fear of being bumped into as my balance is not what it was.  I work around it best I can and find I am able to do pretty much everything I did before.   I had anxiety after and found seeing a counselor helped me but time has also helped.  Go slow and steady, be gentle with yourself. xx Jean
