  1. Hi, so 2018 I was diagnosed with optic disc drusen in a routine eye test as my work made me do one as part of their ‘assurance’ it came back I had to see my go then they referee me to Oxford eye hospital. I work in the military and to them this was the end of the world and made me non deeply able and to Just sit around twiddling my thumbs as I was in and out of the hospital for almost a year. Tried a few things to help (improved on its own) my work then forced me to inform the DVLA of my condition. I did so being a Young sensible lad. They then said to stop driving and go do the DVLA test… bearing in mind leading up to this I was not to drive for that year. I then waited a month to find out I had a 3 year licence approved. Better than nothing… covid hit so I was unable to renew and was given a years grace for them to catch up!? I then go do my normal DVLA test for a week later to be told I must stop driving immediately. I see my gp and tell them I am going to go to another practise test to prove it was a one off fail. Specsavers and lost my recent results and was only able to find 1 of 3 tests I completed. (I was informed they should send all 3 off) I have been trying for weeks to get booked into a practise test so I can send to my gp so she can sign the exceptional case field. She now wants to refer me to a specialist (seems like I’m back to square one) do I A. Do a practise DVLA test and send off results to reapply knowing full well I’ll have to do another DVLA ‘approve’ test B. See the specialist/ gp and get them to sign off exceptional case C. Go to court and pay someone to deal with it. I just dont see to have time to be going around in circles and getting a train 2x per week to get to my work (5 hours on train) oh and my last eye test specsavers said I should never have told them in the first place… 😅😂
